Abstract: | Pommelo (Citrus grandis Osbeck) plantlets were regenerated through different morphogenic pathways in culture. Multiple shoot regeneration through de novo organogenesis was obtained with epicotyl segments and root cultures. Shoot regeneration was observed in 84% of the midtal epicotyl segments cultured in Murashige and Skoog's medium (MS) with 2.2 M benzyladenine (BA) and 83% of the middle and proximal epicotyl segments cultured on basal medium. Isolated root segments cultured on medium containing 0.089 M BA showed best shoot regeneration at 71% with an average of 3.3 shoots per segment. Callus tissues derived from cotyledon and leaf explants regenerated shoots on BA-enriched medium. Shoots were also obtained at high frequencies from shoot-tip and nodal explants. Roots developed when regenerated shoots were excised and cultured on half strength MS medium with 2.5 M indolebutyric acid.Abbreviations BA
