Callus-mediated shoot regeneration from leaf explants ofPhytophthora resistant pepper (Piper colubrinum Link.) is described. The effect of basal media composition and growth regulators onin vitro response of explants was evaluated. Shoot buds were induced and elongated on half-strength MS medium containing 2.0 mg l(-1) BA and 0.5 mg l(-1) NAA , as well as 1.0 mg l(-1) BA and 0.5 mg l(-1) 2,4-D. The shoots were rooted in half-strength MS medium with or without IAA or IBA, and then were transferred to soil with 100% survival.
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.
