Abstract

This study was an attempt to determine rapid micro- propagation
methods for regeneration of papaya plantlets in vitro using liquid
media. Different concentrations and combinations of growth
regulators in liquid MS namely BAP (0-2 mgl-1) and NAA (0-1
mgl-1), CPPU (0-2 mgl-1), and IBA (0-3 mgl-1) were used in the
experiments. Results showed that 0.2 mgl-1 BAP, 0.5mgl CPPU
were best in shoot multiplication, while 3.0 mg l-1 of IBA in root
initiation. Shoot proliferation, root induction reported in this study
is an indicator that liquid medium could be a rapid method for
papaya regeneration. Further experiments geared towards
optimisation of shoot elongation and rooting are ongoing.
