Microprapogation of the syzygium cumini explant was tried by using the different kind of MS.
medium, hormonal changes in the medium show variations in the result. At the appropriate quantity
of the hormones the explant shows a significant amount of development; the basal medium does show
the some kind of development into a bud & no effect on the leaf explant development. The auxin is
generally root initiator and cytokinin are the shoot developers. Very low level of growth regulator
concentration does not show the significant result. (0.1-mg/l -0.1 mg/l) Present work we got
development of callus by using a MS medium of basal medium + 6 BAP with additional supplement
of IBA and kinetin at concentration (0.60 mg/l – 0.60 mg/l) and at the (0.02-0.5 mg/l) of IBA &
kinetin shoot development observed. IAA only shows some growth in explant but does not develop the
tumor/ callus.
