The Muzaffarpur has a very rich plant biodiversity, many of which are medicinally useful. The rich resource is disappearing at an alarming rate as a result of over- exploitation. Rapid agricultural development, population growth, urbanization and the indiscriminate collection of medicinal plants from the wild is resulted in an over-exploitation of natural resources. The conventional means of propagation takes a long time for multiplication and also clonal nonuniform. Plant in vitro regeneration is a biotechnological tool that offers a tremendous potential solution for the propagation of endangered and superior genotypes of medicinal plants which could be released to their natural habitat or cultivated on a large scale for the pharmaceutical product of interest. After the last few years of intensive research programs in our laboratory, we are able to micro propagate some of the endangered and valuable medicinal plants species of this region.
