MORPHOGENIC STUDIES ON ANNONA RETICULATA (L.)

Abstract

Different concentration of phytohormones affected formation of callus of Annona reticulata. Leaf of Annona
reticulata was cultured on “murashige and skoog’s” (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations
of IAA, IBA, 2,4-D, NAA, KN, BAP, Coconut - water in isolation or in combination. Then white Callus was
observed. Cytokinins was also used alone or in combination for callus induction. Most suitable medium for
induction of Callus was 2, 4-D.
