The aim of this study was to develop an efficient protocol to standardize the concentration of sterilants for seed and explants sterilization for in vitro germination and regeneration respectively. The explants used are cotyledonary leaf, stem and hypocotyl of in vitro grown brinjal . For sterilization of seeds and explants, 5% sodium hypochlorite treatment for 3 minutes is the most effective sterilant concentration against the microbiological contamination. In subsequence, the regeneration protocol was optimised for the brinjal . From the in vitro grown seedlings, different explants such as hypocotyl, cotyledenary leaf and stem were taken for callus induction. |
