Abstract: The effect of different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators (BAP, NAA, IAA and Kinetin) was studied to develop a protocol for efficient in vitro regeneration of tomato genotypes at the Biotechnology & Genetic Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from February to October, 2005. Regeneration ability of five indigenous tomato genotypes; namely V-199, V-241, V-258, V-312 and V-387 was investigated via callus induction using hypocotyl and leaf discs as explants....

Molecular markers especially, microsatellite or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) was the marker aided selection (MAS) technique utilized to determine salinity tolerance in rice. It accelerates rice breeding process by significantly improving selection efficiency. Fourty varieties were used to study the effect of salt stress on seedling growth and efficiency of SSR markers for the screening of salt tolerant varieties. Phenotyping of the varieties at the seedling stage was done using salinized (EC=12ds/m) culture solution under controlled conditions at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear...
