Abstract
The present investigation on “REGENERATION STUDY IN BRINJAL (Solanum melongena L.)” was undertaken to identify suitable explants and media for micropropagation. The seeds of Solanum melongena were collected from Vegetable project, Department of Horticulture, MPKV, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar. Various experiments were conducted to study different aspects of micropropagation. Sterilization with 0.1 % HgCl2 for 5-6 min. duration proved to be the best and gave 80 percent aseptic culture establishment. Cotyledonary leaf, shoot tip and nodal segment showed positive response for establishment and multiplication. Different media concentrations were tried for establishment of culture, the media MS+BAP 2.0 mg/l+ Kinetin 1.0 mg/l gave maximum percent establishment i.e.100 % for cotyledonary leaf, 96.66% for shoot tip and 93.33 % for nodal segment. MS + BAP 2.0 mg/l+ Kinetin 1.0 mg/l proved superior for establishment and required least days for establishment i.e. 9.33 days for cotyledonary leaf, 9.33 days for shoot tip and 9.66 days for nodal segment. The media MS + BAP 2.0 mg/l +Kinetin 1.0 gave the maximum number of multiple shoots per culture i.e. 6.66, 5.33 and 4.33 to cotyledonary leaf, shoot tip and nodal segment respectively after establishment of explants. The optimums rooting to the shoot were recorded on MS supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA. All rooted shoots were established after hardening. The regeneration protocol for brinjal (Manjari gota) has been standardized from establishment of explants to rooted plant lets at State Level Biotechnology Centre, MPKV, Rahuri.
