Abstract
Three Indian cultivars of L. esculentum were assessed for shoot regene ration from protoplast-derived calli. Consistent yields of viable prot oplasts (> 9.0 x 106 g f.wt.-1) were obtained from leaflets of 14 days old cultured shoots. Protoplast viability (88-94%) and plating effici ency (55-70%) were recorded for the three cultivars. Up to 71% of the protoplast-derived tissues regenerated shoots.
