Abstract
Guava, a tropical fruit, is valued for its aroma and is used in many fruit products. Earlier work from this laboratory showed that the expression of the flavour as a secondary metabolite through tissue culture in vitro is possible. In the present study an attempt was made to maximize callus culture growth through optimization of hormonal combinations of indole acetic acid (IAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and kinetin (Kn). Effect of using fruits of different maturity was also assessed. Study of the complex interactions of growth hormones and identifications of the optimal hormonal levels were carried out using appropriate design of experiments. Simplex optimization techniques were used to obtain the optimum levels of these hormones for highest relative growth in the experimental region. Results indicate that callus culturing with fruits before reaching climacteric with MS medium supplemented with 0.01 mg l-1 of IAA and 2,4-D and 2.87 mg l-1 of Kn results in a high relative growth of 8.97 for the callus.
