Abstract

Excised leaf, node and stem of five tomato varieties can grow and develop into calli and regenerate to plantlets depending on the variety and the medium used. The calli from leaf, node and stem cultured on the MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/1 BAP of Seedathip 1, VF-134- 1-2 and Peto-86 varieties can regenerate to plantlets on the MS medium supplemented with 1 or 2 mg/1 kinetin. The calli from leaf and node cultured on the MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/1 BAP of Seedathip 91 variety can develop to plantlets on the MS me¬dium supplemented with 1 or 2 mg/1 kinetin while the calli from node cultured on the MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/1 BAP of Peto-882 variety can regenerate to plantlets on the MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/ 1 kinetin.
