Abstract– An attempt has been made to analyze the effects of low light conditions on callus cultures of E. ganitrus on full strength MS medium for long time preservation. For the study dark and light conditions were taken on the basis of time differences out of which low light conditions for 16h and dark conditions for 8h were selected to recapitalize the callus of Elaeocarpus ganitrus when supplemented with plant growth regulators and different kinds of antioxidants in growth medium.
