Abstract

Total nucleic acid (DNA & RNA) and protein content were recorded during callus growth and plant differentiation in sugarcane Cv. B.O. 91. Comparison with field grown plant, revealed a rapid increase in DNA, RNA and protein content during callus growth phase. A rapid decrease in RNA and protein content was observed during plantlet differentiation while very little fluctuation was noticed in DNA.
