To standardize the protocol for callus mediated regeneration on different concentrations and combinations of growth regulators. To study the effect of various concentrations and combinations of growth substances on in vitro plantlet regeneration through direct organogenesis in leaf and cotyledon explants. To standardize the protocol for Agro bacterium mediated genetic transformation from hypocoty
