ABSTRACT
Protein content in Psophocarpus tetragonolobus is comparable to soya bean, higher that of other
pulses, it is high yielding legume crop in tropical country like India. An in vitro plantlet regeneration
protocol was developed from callus cultures of leaf, petiole and internode in P. tetragonolobus with
combination of 2,4-D & Thidiazuron. Leaf callus show maximum percentage of plantlet
regeneration in combination with 2,4-D + TDZ (1.5+0.5) petiole callus show moderate percentage
of plantlet regeneration in combination with 2, 4-D+ TDZ, (1.5+0.75), internode callus show
minimum percentage plantlet regeneration in combination with 2, 4-D+TDZ, (1.5+1.2). Leaf explant
show maximum plantlet regenerated percentage (70-80) in combination with 2,4,D & Thidiazuron
when compared to other explants such as petiole and internode.
