Abstract:
Shoot apex and nodal segment explants of pomegranate were placed on Murashige and Skoog Medium (MS medium, 1962) supplemented with different concentration of cytokinins and auxins alone or in combination for shoot bud induction. In shoot apex explants maximum shoot bud induction was observed on a medium containing 2.0 mg/l BAP with 90 percent frequency followed by 3.0 mg/l Kn+1.0 mg/l IAA with 70 percent frequency. Whereas, maximum shoot bud induction from nodal segment explant was observed on a medium containing 2.50 mg/l BAP with 90 percent frequency followed by 3.0 mg/l BAP+1.0 mg/l IAA with 70 percent frequency.
