In vitroshoot and microtuber formation 
MS media supplemented with different concen- 
tration 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
