| Abstract: | The callus culture of leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni
(Family: Asteraceae) was initiated and maintained on different strengths of
Murashiage and Skoog (MS) medium with phytohormones. The study showed that
Kinetin in combination with Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) and 2, 4-D exhibits better results for
callus initiation whereas the combined application of Benzyl adenine or
6-benzyl amino purine (BAP) and NAA
showed most satisfactory performance in maintaining callus when half strength of
MS medium was used. |
