Genetic Transformation Of Bael (Aegle Marmelos Corr.), Rajesh Pati
Genetic Transformation Of Bael (Aegle Marmelos Corr.), Rajesh Pati
Rajesh Pati
Aegle marmelos Corr. is better known for its medicinal values rather than its edible quality. Every part of the plant viz. leaves, fruits, roots, and the bark are used for treating various diseases related to heart, stomach, bacterial, fungal, viral, worms, fertility, fever and cosmetics. Marmelosin is one of the major compounds (coumarin), used to treat various diseases. Till date, there are no varieties developed for commercial orchards of Bael and hence, regarded as one among the underutilized fruits of India. Therefore, there is an urgent need for breeding new and cultivable varieties in Aegle marmelos. But the problem for …

Bael (Aegle marmelos Corr.) is an important medicinal fruit tree. The fruit pulp contains marmelosin, which is a laxative, diuretic, is being used in many patented drugs in India. Micropropagation technology can be gainfully employed in mass multiplication of improved bael varieties. We have developed micropropagation protocol of bael through shoot bud culture. It was imperative to test genetic fidelity of micropropagated plants using molecular markers (RAPD, DAMD and ISSR).
