of the five explants studied, the mean per cent bud induction from epicotyl segments was significantly higher as compared to root, petiole and cotyledon segments,irrespective of the culture media (Table 1; Figs 1 a-b). the MS medium suppleented with 0.5 mg L-1 BA induced maximum mean bud induction irrespective of the explants used, whereas the minimum bud induction was recorded on the medium supplemented with 3.0 mg L-1 BA. Similar effects of explants no shoot regeneration were also observed in 4 citrus spp. and troyer citange6,C.jabhiri7 and fortunella crassifolia8.
