Abstract

In Vitro propagational studies were conducted for a genetic male sterile mutant of Capsicum annuum, which possess marker traits and exhibits very good combining ability with several C. annuum varieties. This genetic male sterile line yielded promising hybrids with high heterotic values. In Vitro propagation attempts were made by taking apical and axillary buds as an explant. The explants were cultured on modified MS medium supplemented with varying concentrations of auxins and cytokinins. Maximum percentage of shooting for both kind of explants was observed in MS medium supplemented with 3 mg BAP + 1mg IAA/ lit. Maximum percentage of rooting was observed in MS medium having 2 mg NAA +0.5 mg KN/ lit.
