In all strengths of Kinetin all explants developed callus though varying in
amount. Maximum explants response was observed in 18 day after inoculation.
Minimum days recorded were 15 days whereas maximum days consumed for
callus initiation were 20. Leaf developed callus in minimum (15 days) time while
node developed callus in maximum time (20 days). Callus colour was again
found to be governed by the explant used. In leaf, petiole and blade, it was green
in all explants. In node and internode it was yellow green (3 readings) to light
green (8 readings) and green (1 readings). Texture of the callus was again
explant oriented. Under all Kinetin concentrations applied explants, petiole and
leaf produced 100% granular callus whereas internodes and nodes produced
100% compact callus.
