Abstract

An efficient method for plant regeneration via callus formation has been developed in pigeonpea using two varieties as BDN-2 and GT-101. Three different explants viz. leaf, hypocotyl and root excised from 15-20 days old in vitro raised seedlings were cultured on basal MS medium. Greenish coloured callus were observed using various media according to explants. More shoots were found in MS + 1.0 mg/l NAA + 4.0 mg/l Adenine and roots on Elongated shoots in MS + 1.0 mg/l IAA media. Rooted plants were transferred in pot for acclimatization.
