For efficient propagation,the in vitro propagation method was established.Among several culture media,shoot number and shoot length were high on MS and White medium,while the plantlets cultured on NN and B5 medium showed poor growth than others.The vigorous rooting ability occurred on culturing of explants for 4 weeks on White medium,with about 5.5 roots per plantlet.In order to investigate the effect of different macro nutrients,several macro nutrients(N,P,K,Mg and Ca) were added at levels of 1 /4,1 /2,1,2 and 4 strength into MS basal medium and determined shoot growth and catechins contents after 4 weeks of culture.Low concentration of nutrients resulted in a marked increase in plant growth,whereas high level of nutrients inhibited plant growth.The catechins production was also affected by macronutrient concentration.Low concentration of macronutrient increased in catechins production,whereas high level of macronutrient inhibited plant growth except magnesium sources.
