Propagation of papaya through tissue culture

Abstract

Possibility of vegetative propagation or papaya was studied by culturing apical and lateral shoots in MS media with all possible combination of NAA (0.186 and 0.372 mg/l) and BA (O, 113, 0.226, 0.452, 0.904 mg/l). The best combination for shoot was 0.186 mg/l NAA+O.225 mg/l BA. But the shoots did not elongate properly until 1 mg/l GA3 was added.
