Callus growth and vitality is one of the important prerequisites for further success of in vitro studies. In vitro calli systems can also act as a model system in understanding defense responses at the cellular level. This study investigated the efficiency of Compost tea (CT) in inducing defense response and as an organic supplement in vitro callus growth in rice. Compost tea is an organic liquid product derived from quality compost, carrying useful microorganism and molecules capable of protecting and stimulating the growth of the plants. | Compost tea induced callus proliferation and defense response in rice (Oryza sativa L.) callus cells
