Online published on 4 March, 2020. Abstract Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana (L.)) has great economic importance due to its nutritional values as well as the medicinal properties. Due to such properties, this plant is gainingfocusinpharmaceuticalindustries. Theuseoftissue culture methods might be conducive to select cultivars of desired characters and micropropagation for clonal propagation and agricultural practices of golden berry, considering the limited plant production and high consumption due to value-added natural compounds. P. peruviana is recalcitrant to shoot organogenesis through adventitiousregeneration fromleafexplants, therefore, there is a very limited number of in vitro regeneration studies. This review summarizes available tissue culture reports on P. peruviana for explants and plant growth regulators used and the technological advances made.
