“…Again, Yie and Liaw (1977) reported callusing from stem segments on MS medium containing 1.0 mg L'1 NAA and O.lmg L'1 kinetin. Medora et al (1979) found 1.8 pM 2,4-D ideal for callus induction. Coconut water and NH4"-nitrogen were found to be effective, while BAP and GA3 were inhibitory.…”

High efficiency plant regeneration from petiole explants of Carica papaya L. through organogenesis

et al. 1993

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Callus cultures were obrained from petiole explants of Carica papaya on MS medium containing 0.5-10.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) in combination with 0.5-5 μM benzyladenine (BA). Hard-green calli were transferred to MS medium containing 100 mgl(-1) casein hydrolysate (CH) with specific BA-NAA formulation, where they developed adventitious buds within 2 weeks of culture. Maximum number of adventitious buds were obtained in 2 μM BA and 0.1 μM NAA. Shoot regeneration occurred from these adventitious buds by the end of the 4th week. Regenerated shoots were elongated in hormone-free medium and rooted in half-strength MS fortified with 3 UM NAA and 0.5 μM gibberellic acid (GA3). The regenerants were transferred to soil after acclimatization.
