Hypocotyl and leaf explants were excised from 3 to 4 days old seedlings and placed aseptically on solidified MS medium containing 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar. The pH of the media was adjusted to 5.6-5.8 with 0.1N sodium hydroxide and/or 0.1 N hydrochloric acid prior to adding the agar. The media were supplemented with filter sterilized auxins 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), Indolebutyric acid (IBA), 2, 4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) and Cytokinin 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) both individually and in combination at a concentration of 0.1 – 10mg/litre. Cultures were maintained under white fluorescent light with light dark cycles of 16 hr/8 hr at 25 20C. After shoot induction they were subculture onto MS medium fortified with various concentrations of IBA for root induction. The rooted shoots were removed from the culture medium and transferred to plastic cups containing a mixture of garden soil, and sand (2: 1). Potted seedlings were grown under laboratory conditions of regulated humidity and temperature for two weeks, irrigated with knops’ soln. once every three days. The plants were kept under shade for four weeks and then placed under full sunlight. Data collected after 35-40 days of culture for shoot and root response. Only data which showed some advantageous effect are included in the tables. All the experiments were repeated three times with19 explants per treatment. The statistical significance was calculated by using ANOVA and significance at 5% level.
