Micropropagation is one of the reliable methods of in vitro studies by which large number of pathogen free plants can be produced. Micropropagation is the true-to-type propagation of a selected genotype using in vitro culture technique. The survival, multiplication and field establishment of cultures depend upon a variety of factors such as origin of cultures, physiological stages of explant, endogenous hormone level and culture environment like nutrient medias, photoperiod, CO2 concentration, temperature, etc. Each species is unique in these requirements. Medicinal plants consider as a rich resources of ingredients which can be used in drug development and synthesis. For present study an annual aromatic herb Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) was selected which belong to Apiaceae family. For micropropagation MS media was supplemented with 2,4- dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D). 2, 4-D was used in different concentrations. On increasing concentration of 2-4 -D a gradual decrease in the percentage of explants forming callus was noted.
