Abstract
Large number of plantlets were obtained in hypocotyl cultures ofSantalum album either through direct differentiation of shoot buds and their subsequent induction into rooted plants or through callus induction and somatic embryogenesis. Factors which triggered both these morphogenetic processes were investigated.
