Response of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) variety panniyur-1 and cultivars to indirect organogenesis

Abstract

Indirect organogensis was attempted in the black pepper variety Panmyur-1 and four cultivars viz. Karimunda, Kalluvally, Balankotta and Cheriakanyakkadan from expianls of axenic seedlings. The response of variety/cultivars at various stages of morphogenesis was studied in detail. The response suggests the manipulation of media specifically to each variety / cultivar to achieve the maximum morphogcnelic potential.
