Abstract
The present review describes salient features of morphological, anatomical, physiological as well as phytochemicals in Cissus quadrangularis. The protocol for micropropagation of this species is described. Interestingly three morphotypes(morphotype I, morphotype II and morphotype III) have been identified on the basis of stem morphology. RAPD and ISSR moleculer markers have been used to distinguish the three morphotypes genetically. Morphovariant I and Morphovariant III constituted the same cluster whereas morphovariant II having flattened stem was different. FTIR analysis supported the occurrence of the three morphotypes.
