Abstract
Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. is a plant of religious and medicinal importance
in India. All of its plant parts have been reported to possess medicinal uses due to the
presence of various phytoconstituents. Looking at its perspectives, Aegle is
successfully propagated in vitro, primarily through organogenesis, using numerous
explants. Efficient micropropagation is ensured by proper sterilization, preparation of
explants, and use of antioxidants to avoid media browning. Various factors that affect
the regeneration rate include season of explant collection, explant origin, phenological
growth stage, concentration and combination of Plant Growth Regulators (PGR),
culture media composition, and addition of additives to the media to enhance the
micropropagation rate. The present review chapter compiles numerous reports of the
effective micropropagation of A. marmelos and factors that affect the rate of
micropropagation.
