Callus tissue was induced on parenchyma tissue of shoot apices, leaves, and inflorescences of Saccharum sp. using a basal mineral medium supplemented with coconut water (10% by volume) and 2,4-D. Transfer of callus tissue to a non-2,4-D basal medium induced the differentiation of plants. In all the plants studied, morphological variants from the parental clone were observed.
Key Words: Chromosome variability Plant variability Tissue culture Isozyme patterns Induced differentiation Selection technique Aneuploidy
