Different nutrient media were used to test the totipotency of Canna indica. The Canna responded by exehibiting growth
after the 7-12 days in presence of MS media. It was also observed that Canna grew fast through tissued cultured rasied bulbs

tissue culture raised clone was standardized at National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), Lucknow laboratories.
