Abstract

Callus was induced from 2 cultivars and 1 line of sugarcane by culture shoot tip on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 3 mg/l 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid and 15% by volume of coconut water. This callus was cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l 2, 4-D, 15% by volume of coconut water and various concentration of daminozide for 5 months. Callus cultured on medium with 500 mg/l daminozide could develop to be plantlets, while callus cultured on medium with 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg/l daminozide could not develop to be plantlets. By using daminozide, callus of sugarcane could be stored for 5 months by subculture only 1 time after culture for 2 months.
