Honey Dew).h[electronic resource]  c1994  aIn order to develop techniques for efficient callus production and regeneration in Carica papaya (Var. Honey Dew), lamina, petiole, stem and root explants from in vitro plantlets were cultured in media supplemented with 2.0mg/1 IBA and 0.5mg/1 BAP. Use of in vitro-grown plantlets an explant source helped to avoid contamination common in papaya tissue culture. Callusing was maximum in root explants cultured in a modified MS (half-strength) medium. Shoot reganeration was maxium in root-derived callus grown in full-strength modified MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/1 IBA and 1 to 2mg/1 kinetin. A histological study indicated that shoot buds originated from peripheral cell layers of the callus.  aMamão1 aGUPTA, S.1 aMUKHERJEE, B. B.  tPlant Cell Reportsgv.13, n.7, p.390-393, 1994.
