Abstract

Leaf, stem and root explants of Mandevilla velutina were cultured in vitro and produced vigorous callus in LS basal medium containing one auxin (2,4-D or NAA) plus BAP. Calli can be subcultured indefinitely with vigorous growth. Subculture of calli to NAA (1.0 mg/l) plus BAP (5.0 mg/l) caused profuse regeneration of shoots. Isolated shoots were rooted in basal medium plus NAA (5.0 mg/l) or IBA (8.0 mg/l). Rapidly growing cell suspensions can be easily obtained from friable callus cultured in liquid medium.
