Callus formation and subsequent shoot regeneration from cultured explants were observed in the presence of 0.8-1.0 mg/I BAP in the medium. When low concentration (0.5mg/I) of NAA was present in the medium, a higher level(5-6mg/I) of BAP was required for induction of shoots. The frequency of callus formation or shoot regeneration in such was as high as 100.The regenerated shoots could be rooted in hormone-free MS medium and successfully established in soil.AgricultureTubersPlant growthAuxinsCytokininsTissue cultureInnalaPlant pathologyArticle
