              (0.1 mg/L), BAP (0.5 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L), kinetin
            
            
              (0.25 mg/L) and proline (250 mg/L) were used. Calli
            
            
              of 3 different ages, viz., 21 days, 28 days and 35 days
            
            
              were used for regeneration experiment. Calli of both
            
            
              genotypes, those were induced on CFM3 and CFM11,
            
            
              shifted on four regeneration media (RM). Data
            
            
              were collected in the form of total number of shoots
            
            
              per explants. Analysis of variance for regeneration
            
            
              showed that the interaction between days, genotype,
            
            
              CFM and RM is highly significant (Table 3).
