Effect of light and cytokinin on growth and curculin gene expression of Curculigo latifolia on in vitro culture.

Despite being valuable for producing a natural sweetener Curculin, Curculigo latifolia has a low growth and difficult to domestificate. So, to solve this problem, propagation on in vitro culture will be an alternative method to propagated this spesies under different cytokinins and light condition. Cytokinins and light has major role in organogenesis, growth and gene expression of many species.
