Abstract

                                The response of shoot tips to initiate multiple shoots was studied in two genotypes of castor GCH 4 and Kranthi. In vitro shoot bud induction response varied with the explant size and age. Five mm shoot tips or shoot tips obtained from nine day old seedlings initiated a maximum of 4.6 and 5.6 shoot buds per explant on MS + BAP 5.0 mg/1 respectively. Elongated shoots were induced for rooting on MS +IBA 0.1 mg/1. Complete plants were hardened and later transferred to pots and grown up to maturity of primary spikes.

Key words : Multiple shoot bud induction, Ricimus communis
