Abstract:
Callus was induced from leaf explants of Gossypium hirsutum L cv. Acala SJ2 on medium containing LS basal salts and vitamin with 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D), benzylaminopurin (BAP) and gibberellic acid (GA3). Five different concentrations of myo-inositol were tested for the optimum growth of callus tissues in vitro. The callus cells required myo-inositol and showed increasing growth upto an optimum of 100 mg 1 1 . Further increase of the myo-inositol concentration resulted in decreasing growth. Growth promotion may be due to a high cell division rate and not to cell enlargement. It means that the callus growth of Acala SJ2 is dependent upon myo-inositol.
