MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611027705 A) filed by Sharda University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on March 9, for 'in-vitro micropropagation method using a glass-bead supported liquid multiplication system.'
Inventor(s) include Ramesh Joshi; Ibrahim Baba Shehu; Amarjeet Yadav; Prashasti Singh; Hussaini Umara Bulakarima; Vinod Joshi; Bennet Angel; and Annette Angel.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an in vitro micropropagation method for the efficient multiplication of plant shoots under aseptic culture conditions. The method comprises treating an explant with an antioxidant solution, followed by surface sterilization, culturing the sterilized explant on an agar-solidified nutrient medium to obtain regenerated shoots, and transferring the regenerated shoots to a glass-bead-supported liquid multiplication system comprising inert glass beads disposed in a culture vessel containing a liquid nutrient medium. The inert glass beads provide physical anchorage to the regenerated shoots in the liquid medium and reduce hyperhydricity during multiplication. The regenerated shoots are subcultured in the glass-bead-supported liquid multiplication system to obtain multiplied shoots, wherein the inert glass beads are sterilizable and reusable for multiple subculture cycles."
