Abstract
Morphogenesis from several explant types excised from in-vitro-grown p lantlets of a Brazilian eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) variety (F-100 ) was evaluated in response to thidiazuron (TDZ). Leaves and cotyledon s were found to be the most responsive explants. Optimal shoot bud ind uction rates (75-100 buds/explant) were achieved in the presence of 0. 2 mu M TDZ. Organogenic calli were transferred to growth regulator fre e MS medium before shoot excision. Rooting was induced on half-strengt h MS medium supplemented with 0.6 mu M IAA.
