S. aLateral bud culture of papaya (Carica papaya L.) for clonal propagation.h[electronic resource] c1986 aLateral buds may be preferred to shoot tips for in vitro propagation of papaya because of its unbranched nature. Proliferating shoot cultures from lateral buds appeared extremely compact with shortened internodes and leaf lamina of the cytokinin level (BAP 2M) reported for multiple shoot tips. ZEA (4M) and 2iP (8M) althogh reduced the proliferation rate, resulted in better growth of the shoot from lateral bud. Rooting was observed with IBA 20M but plantlets so produced remained stunted. aCarica Papaya aClonal propagation aLateral bud/shoot tip culture1 aPANDEY, R.
