Abstract
In this study leaves of mini clonal cutting of mulberry treated with different growth regulating hormones viz., (IBA and NAA) were analysed for their physiological traits viz., (chlorophyll ‘a’, chlorophyll ‘b’, total chlorophyll content, chlorophyll a/b ratio and soluble protein content). Their result shows that IBA reigned supreme in terms of physiological traits when compared with NAA and this explains furtherance of IBA for propagation of mini clonal cuttings of mulberry.
Keywords: NAA, IBA, mini clonal leaves
