A rapid and efficient protocol was developed for shoot induction and multiple shoot formation from apical and nodal explants of Vitex negundo L. an important endangered medicinal plant species. The explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoogs (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of auxins, cytokinins and sucrose. Highest percentage (97%) of shoot induction were observed from axillary meristem, developed 10-20 shoots when cultured in the medium containing the combination of 6 -Benzyl amino purine (BAP) (0.5 mg/l) and Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (0.2mg/l) supplemented with 3% Sucrose within 25 days.
