Abstract

The role of aluminium and phosphorus on the secretion of acid phosphatase in the callus culture of Brassia juncea was studied. Callus culture derived from leaves of mustard (Brassica juncea) plants. Proliferated calluses were subjected to P-deficient as well as P-sufficient conditions in the presence and absence of aluminium. The 10 days old calluses were harvested and so the culture medium in which they were cultured, for analysis of acid phosphatase, protein and amino acid content.
