Jasminum sambac is one of the important flowering plants of India and the plant is valuable for its pharmaceutical properties. The present study describes the callus induction of the plant J. sambac (Jasmine: node, internode and leaf) under the influence of different plants hormones like 2, 4-D, kinetin and ThiDiaZuron (TDZ) on the growth of callus. Internodes were proved to be the best explants for culture, which were grown on MS basal medium with different concentration of various growth regulators. The standard plant tissue culture protocol for callus culture and/or micropropagation was adopted. The highest efficiency of callus formation was observed in the medium the containing concentration of 2.0 mg/l 2, 4-D alone.
