ABSTRACT
To standardize medium pH for in vitro callus induction and shoot regeneration from cotyledon and leaf explants of genotype Punjab Upma and IPA-3 of tomato, the explants were cultured on the MS medium which was maintained at wide range of pH (4.5-7.0). Callus induction and shoot regeneration were significantly affected by medium pH. The callus induction and shoot regeneration were affected with lower pH (4.5-5.0) and higher (6.0-7.0) medium pH significantly. Among two explants used cotyledons shows the maximum callus induction as well as shoot regeneration. The best callus induction and shoot regeneration occurred in the medium pH 5.5-6.0.
Key words: Callus induction, Shoot regeneration explants.
