RESPONSE OF THE TEPARY BEAN PHASEOLUS ACUTIFOLIUS A. GREY, TO TISSUE CULTURE SYSTEMS

The responses of the tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) to in vitro tissue culture systems were documented. Tests were conducted to identify the optimal auxin and cytokinin combinations required for optimal callus growth. Regeneration experiments were conducted to: (1) determine the effect of expla...
