Abstract

Effect of various concentrations of different sugars was investigated for induction of root and shoot from basmati rice. Explant, seeds (grains) were transferred in ½ MS basal media fortified with different concentrations of carbon source like sucrose, maltose, and dextrose. In vitro regenerated rice plantlets were healthy and attained a length of 16.17cm at 0.25 % concentration within a week. Only low concentration (0.25%) of dextrose exhibited the maximum shoot and root growth, out of three sugars. Maltose showed the moderate growth response of shoot and root length in all the concentrations.
