Stimulation of Shoot Regeneration of Vigna aconitifolia by Electrical Control

Hypocotyls of mothbean were subjected to electrical impulsesof increasing field intensity. Field treated hypocotyl segmentsshowed marked increase in stimulation of shoot bud formationcompared to untreated segments. The voltage at which maximumstimulation was obtained decreased with the increase in durationof field pulse. Present results suggest that electrical pulsesstimulate differentiation in the treated tissue. Electric stimulation, Vigna aconitifolia, mothbean-hypocotyl, permeabilization
