The study was conducted to investigate the effect of pre-treatments, incubation temperature and culture media in different eggplant genotypes through Anther culture. The eggplants were given with 3 different hours of pre-treatments in combination with two different incubation temperatures (25 o C for 3 weeks and 35 o C for 8 days under dark condition). One cross (IGB-17 X Kasi Taru) was implanted in C medium supplemented with different hormones. Among different treatment combinations the treatment C5 media +3 hours pre-treatment + incubation at 25℃ for 3weeks showed maximum embryogenic calli induction with response frequency 74.05 per cent and took least number of days for callus initiation (10 days) fallowed by C2+2h+25 ℃ had % callus induction frequency with minimum days of 10.71, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
