Description
Summary:[...]the present work is carried out to find the effect of phyto harmones, 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on callus formation, shoot and root regenerations from dragon fruit in vitro using stem cuttings as explants. According to Thinesh and Seran [10], during indirect regeneration, high survival percentage and lowest contamination rate was observed from stem explants. According to Ahmad, et al [14], phenolic compounds are released from cut surfaces of explants because of which tissue becomes dead and hence browning of tissue is observed. According to Meenashree et al., [15], there exists high phenolic content in explants because of which calli tend to become brown.
