Abstract
Various combinations of plant hormones were tested for callogenesis in diff erent explants of microsperma lentil cultivar Masoor-85. Callogenesis was o bserved under dark conditions. Calli could regenerate bud primordia and a f ew buds developed into shoots with leaves when transferred under light cond itions. Elongated shoots were cut from the base and adventitious rooting wa s induced to develop these into pod bearing plants in the field.
