Some aspects of regeneration in leaf cuttings of tomato

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Conclusions

  1. (1)

    Rooting in leaf cuttings is not confined to callus region of the petiole or petiolules but can extend to considerable distances if conditions are favourable.

  2. (2)

    Regeneration in leaf cuttings of tomato is apparently not different than found to occur in other plants.

  3. (3)

    Terminal dominancy in tomato as suggested by Isbell cannot be taken as a rulé as both shoot and root could arise by the same organ irrespective of position and perhaps at the same point.

  4. (4)

    In case of tomato, perhaps, full regenerates could also be produced from leaflets alike leaves.
