Abstract

Mandarins constitute an important group among the citrus fruits. Kinnow (C. nobilis Lour x C. deliciosa Tenora) is now extensively grown commercially in North Indian plains, owing to its high yield and relative resistance to insect-pests and diseases. However, it has a tendency towards higher seediness, bitterness in juice, thick and tight rind and late maturity. Likewise, in C. reticulata Blanco cv. Local Sangtra, poor productivity, high incidence of sunburn and granulation warrant the incremental improvement in these two mandarins, via tissue culture. The paucity of the information, on the induction of high frequency somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in these cultivars necessitates this investigation.
