Out of five basal media tested (MS, £¿ MS, £¿ MS, LS and WP), MS was found to be most effective for shoot and callus initiation. Different plant growth regulators (0.1 ©\ 1.0 ¦Ìm) induced shoot formation in different proportions. The combination of 0.1 ¦Ìm IBA and 0.5 ¦Ìm BAP was found optimum for shoot elongation with minimal necrosis of the explants. Half strength of MS supplemented with 8.0 ¦Ìm IBA was found suitable for rooting.
