Abstract In vitro regeneration of shoots from leaf explants of the Paradise tree (Melia azedarach L.) was studied. Three different portions (proximal portion, distal portion and rachis of the leaflets) of three developmental stages (folded, young still expanding and completely expanded) of leaves of 10 – 15 years old plants of seven genotypes were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (MS) supplemented with 1mg.l-1 benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 0.1mg.l-1 kinetin (KIN) + 3 mg.l-1 adenine sulphate (ADS).
The rachis of the leaflets of the completely expanded leaves was found to be the most responsive tissue, in most of the More >
