MORPHOGENETIC STUDIES IN VITRO IN CALLUS CULTURES OF COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA) |
| Authors: | H. K. Cheema, J. Bawa |
| Abstract:
Various cowpea explants: hypocotyl, epicotyl, stem explant (with and without apex), cotyledon and cotyledonary leaf initiated callus on a medium containing various growth adjuvants viz., 2,3-D, NAA and Kinetin in combination with sucrose. Embryogenic callus could be obtained only with 2,4-D. NAA favoured rhizogenesis in all the explants, while direct shoot regeneration was only observed from the stem explant (with apex) when a Kinetin-supplement Murashige & Skoog medium was used. | |
