Description An efficient and highly reproducible protocol for micropropagation of bird eye chilli Capsicum frutescens was attempted. Murashige and Skooy (MS) medium containing 0.5-3.0 mgr1 of 6-benzyladenine (BA), 2-isopentenyl adenine
(2iP), kinetin and 0.5-2.0 mg r of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) along with 1 gr1 activated charcoal (AC) were used for shoot regeneration from both shoot tip and nodal explants. Shoot tip explants (100%) grew well on medium containing 1 mgr' of kinetin and 1 mgl-l ofIBA. Shoot proliferation (1-3) from nodal explants was effective on this medium. The regenerated shoots with 4-7 nodes had further growth upon sub-culturing onto kinetin (1 mgr1 and IBA (1 mgr1) and rooted simultaneously. The rooted plants were transferred to pots after hardening under controlled conditions. The survival percentage in pots was 80-90%.
