Abstract
Response of two Cyamopsis genotypes to the four auxins 2, 4-D, NAA, IA A and picloram in tissue culture were examined. Picloram was most effe ctive for callus growth of genotypes. NAA concentrations gave good gro wth. For supporting effective callus growth IAA was used. Auxin, 2, 4- D, also enhanced the callus growth but range of optimal concentrations for both the genotypes was broad. These genotypic variations in relat ion to auxin response were repeatable and may thus reflect genetic dif ferences.
