Regeneration of plants from adventitious shoots is necessary for
application of gene transfer technology and for somaclonal variation
difference in metal uptake in in vivo and in vitro. The later purpose is
particularly interesting for estimation of metal ions in in vitro
culture of Momordica charantia.This study also leads to the conclusion
that in vitro grown plants of Momordica charantia can behave as natural
scavengers if planted to the chemically polluted soils on large scale in
future.
