Abstract

In Punica granatum highly efficient and reproducible callus and root induction has been developed through A. rhizogenes by using juvenile segment as explant source. One month old calli were treated with A. rhizogenes for root induction in MS medium without auxins. The best roots were derived from callus of pomegranate through the mediation of A.rhizogenes. This protocol opens up prospects for using biotechnological approaches for pomegranate improvement.
