title: Regeneration of plants from the culture of leaves and axillary buds in mulberry (Morus indica L.).
abstract: Stem segments, axillary buds and leaves excised from established shoot cultures of Morus indica were soaked in MS liquid medium containing benzyladenine (0.5, 1, 2 mg/1) and were cultured subsequently on semi solid medium of the same composition. Numerous shoot buds differentiated from leaf and axillary buds but stem segments were unresponsive. The shoot buds on isolation and culture developed into plantlets. Callus tissues which developed at the base of the leaf explant upon subculture also differentiated numerous shoot buds.
