The technique of excised embryos was employed to facilitate the propagation of Podophyllum emodi derived from seeds collected at the different elevation zones of Himachal Pradesh, India. Seed germination was low, irrespective of stage of seed development or zone of collection. Germination was improved significantly (89.14%) in the partially mature and mature seeds collected from alpine and temperate zones when excised embryos were cultured on basal B5 medium. Leaf emergence and plant establishment in the field was also significantly higher in the plants raised through this technique, despite hypocotyl dormancy. The technique was successfully employed for the production of plants to be reintroduced in large numbers into their habitat in the Great Himalayan National Park.
