Abstract

Genetic variability for regeneration ability was evaluated by studying direct organogenesis from cotyledons of thirteen genotypes including three cytoplasmic male sterile, three maintenor, three restorer inbred lines, and four F1 hybrids obtained by crosses between some of these inbred lines. The experimental design was a complete randomized block with three replications. A high genetic variability for organogenesis parameters between genotypes was observed in this study. Evidence of cytoplasmic effect and nucleo-cytoplasmic interaction for some of regeneration parameters was observed. The data also showed the importance of additive genetic control for organogenesis parameters in most genotypes.
