STUDY ON MORPHOGENESIS OF BLACK PEPPER (PIPER NIGRUM L.) IN LEAF THIN CELL LAYER CULTURE

Abstract

A histological study of  callus regeneration of black pepper using leaf transverse thin cell layer (tTCL) explants was accomplished. The undifferentiated cells culture of callus were found to differentiate into vascular nodules called meristemoids, which then develop into xylem elements, especially tracheids. Culturing in the shooting medium, these nodules differentiated into shoot apical meristem.
