In this study, attempt was made to establish a reproducible protocol via tissue culture from
root and coleoptiles in three Jhum rice cultivars (cvs.) viz Hamaran, Sori, Kulbadam. Spontaneous
callus induction and plant regeneration as well as variation among the cultivars were observed in
different combinations on MS based media. Embryogenic calli and non embryogenic calli were
found on MS based media supplemented with 2.5 mgl-1 2, 4-D; 1% Casein hydrolysate (CH) and
0.5 mgl-1 Kn respectively. Plantlet regeneration occurred on MS basal medium using 2.0 mgl-1
BAP and 0.5 mgl-1 Kn. In point of coleoptiles, cv. Hamaran displayed a good number of embryogenic
calli and shoot production. Most effective response amongst the cultivars was found in coleoptiles
than root while explants of root failed to reproduce plantlets through tissue culture. Finally, the
plantlets were transferred to the natural condition in pot for acclimatization.
