Abstract

Effects of initial size of cotton callus on its further growth in vitro were investigated. It was observed that
reduction in initial size/quantity of cultured callus resulted in reduced growth rate. Phytagel was found to be a
superior gelling agent compared to agar.Thiamine at its higher concentration promoted the callus growth compared
to the lower concentration.
