ABSTRACT

Four sugarcane varieties (87A298, Co86032, CoT8201 and 2003V46) and three explants (shoot tip, leaf roll and apicalmeristem) were used for micropropagation and observations were made on callus, shoot and root induction. Among all fourvarieties 87A298 responded well for callus, shoot and root induction and a opposite performance was observed for CoT8201.
