When the stem explants of tomato seedlings<br />

obtained form in vitro grown seedlings were<br />

cultured on hormone free MS medium, shoots<br />

were induced after one week which increased in<br />

length greatly and produced callus after 4 weeks<br />

in culture, roots were developed after 3 weeks<br />

and exhibited high growth.<br />

Tomato stem explants cultured on MS media<br />

supplemented with 2.0 or 4.0 mgl -1 BA initiated<br />

shoots after two weeks, exhibited slow growth<br />

rate and from lower surface of explants callus<br />

was developed which was yellow in colour.<br />

<strong>The</strong> highest average of shoot number,<br />

shoot length and leaves per shoot were observed<br />

in explants cultured in hormone free MS<br />

media. (Fig 4, 5, 6).
