An experiment was conducted on in vitro rooting in Coccinia grandis (L.) through nodal segments with an objective to standardise a viable protocol for in vitro propagation. Maximum number of shoots producing roots was noticed in ½ MS + 0.5 mg l-1 IBA which was on par with ½ MS + 1.0 mg l-1 IBA and ½ MS + 0.5 mg l-1 NAA. The maximum number of roots per shoot (6.00) was observed by ½ MS + 1.0 mg l-1 IBA (T2) and ½ MS medium devoid of any growth regulators as control. The maximum girth of longest root was recorded by ½ MS + 0.5 mg l-1 IBA which was on par with ½ MS + 0.5 mg l-1 NAA but significantly superior to the MS + 1.0 mg l-1 NAA. The root colour was observed as white in ½ MS + 0.5 mg l-1 IBA (T1), ½ MS + 1.0 mg l-1 IBA (T2) and ½ MS medium devoid of any growth regulators as control whereas pale white colour root was observed in the rest of treatments.
