REGENERATION OF PLANTLETS FROM HYPOCOTYL DERIVED CALLUS OF MORUS-ALBA

Plantlets were regenerated from hypocotyl callus of Morus alba cv. MR, . Calli were established from hypocotyl segments on Murashige and Skoo g (MS) medium supplemented with indoleacetic acid (0.5 mg/l) and benzy ladenine (BA) (0.5 mg/l). They were transferred to MS medium with diff erent concentrations of naphthaleneacetic acid NAA and BA for four wee ks. Adventitious shoot buds were observed by transferring callus onto fresh Linsmaier and Skoog (LS) medium containing NAA (0.5 mg/l) and BA (0.75 mg/l). Shoots produced in vitro were rooted on MS medium with i ndolebutyric acid (0.75 mg/l).
