EFFECT OF KINETIN ON MULTIPLE SHOOT INDUCTION IN COTTON (GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM L.) CV. NIAB-999

Multiple shoot induction was studied in upland cotton cv. NIAB-999. Cotyledonary nodes obtained fromaseptically raised seedling were cultured on modified Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplementedwith different doses of Kinetin. Cotyledonary nodes produced maximum number of shoots (3.43 shoots/explant) when cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.25 mgl-1 Kinetin. Highest percentage (93.3 %) ofroot development and root length (5.85 cm) was obtained when shoots were cultured on MS mediumsupplemented with 0.5 mgl-1 napthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 0.1 mgl-1 Kinetin.
