Abstract

Decapitated seedling root explants of seven cultivars of mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) cultured on Murashige and Skoog's basal medium without any phytohormone gave rise to plantlets at the end of 4-5 weeks. Addition of cytokinins such as BA, Z, Kn and 2,i-P enhanced the frequency of plant regeneration and also the average number of shoot buds/culture. The buds originated directly from cortical cells or through callussing and subsequent differentiation from the surface. The plantlets obtained were successfully transferred to the field.
