In vitro shoot and microtuber formation
MS media supplemented with different concentration of KIN were used for micro tuber
production. The data are presented in Table 1. It
was revealed that, simple MS media had the ability
to produce shoot under in vitrocondition. But days
required for shoot regeneration was highest (13
days) in control condition. The minimum time
(5.09) was required in MS + 4 mg/L KIN
treatment, followed by MS + 3 mg/L and MS + 2
mg/L of KIN, respectively. The time variation
between two treatments was very less. Shoot per
explant was the highest (9.28) in MS + 4 mg/L KIN
which was followed by 3, 2 and 1 mg/L KIN,
respectively. The simple MS medium produced
lowest number of shoot (2.13) per explant. Highest
shoot length (8.80 cm) was observed in MS + 2
