Limnophila aromatica (Lamk.) Merr. is an important medicinal and aromatic plant widely used in
the traditional medicine. In this study, nodal and internodal explants of L. aromatica (Lamk.) Merr. were cultured
for multiple and rapid production on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing combinations of 0.10 mg
L-1 Gibberellic acid (GA3) and 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40, 0.80 and 1.60 mg L-1 Thidiazuron (TDZ) for eight weeks.
In general, high shoot regeneration percentages were obtained for both types of explants. In nodal explants, the
maximum number of shoots per explant (21.44) and the highest shoot length (1.68 cm) were determined in MS
medium containing 0.10 mg L-1 GA3 + 0.40 mg L-1 TDZ and 0.10 mg L-1 GA3 + 0.10 mg L-1 TDZ, respectively.
In internodal explants, the maximum number of shoots per explant (17.46) and the highest shoot length (1.60 cm)
were obtained in MS medium supplemented with 0.10 mg L-1 GA3 + 0.20 mg L-1 TDZ and 0.10 mg L-1 GA3 + 0.05
mg L-1 TDZ, respectively. With the effect of plant growth regulators, the nodal explants gave more regenerated
shoots than the internodal explants. Regenerated shoots were successfully rooted on MS medium containing 0.25
mg L-1 indole butyric acid (IBA). Successful adaptation of the rooted shoots to the aquarium environment has been
achieved.
