Although, of the various methods of in vitro propagation, axillary branching method is regarded as the safest, the possibility of genetic variation (somaclonal variation) cannot be ruled out even in this method. In the present study, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker assay was employed to validate the clonal fidelity of in vitro raised Bambusa balcooa plantlets multiplied by enhanced axillary proliferation up to 33 passages. Fifteen ISSR primers generated a total of 99 amplicons among the tissue-cultured progenies. Analysis of ISSR patterns revealed that the bands were shared by both the parent clump and the in vitro raised plants confirming the genetic stability in the latter.

Nodal segments collected from field-grown clumps and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.4 μM benzylaminopurine (BA) and 2.32 μM kinetin (Kin) gelled with 0.2% gelrite yielded 80% aseptic cultures with 100% bud-break. The in vitro-formed shoots obtained after bud-break were successfully multiplied in MS liquid medium supplemented with 13.2 μM BA, 2.32 μM Kin, and 0.98 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Sub-culturing of shoots every 3 weeks on fresh multiplication medium yielded a consistent proliferation rate of 3.5-fold. Shoot clusters containing three to five shoots were successfully rooted with 100% success on half-strength MS liquid medium supplemented with 9.8 μM IBA, 2.85 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 2.68 μM naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 3% sucrose. Plantlets grown in vitro were acclimatized and subsequently transferred to the field. Inter-simple sequence repeat analysis has confirmed the genetic uniformity of the tissue-cultured plants up to 27 passages.
