Multiple shoots were regenerated from cotyledonary explants through organogenesis with growth regulators of different combinations and concentrations.  The best response towards multiple shoot regeneration was achieved from cotyledon explants on MS media complemented with 1 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l IAA in both the two varieties of eggplant. Elongation of shoots was achieved on hormone free MS medium. Regenerated shoots of both the varieties produced   active <em>in vitro</em> root system on half strength of MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l IBA.  The <em>in vitro</em> grown plantlets were acclimatized in soil, grew up to maturity, flowered, fruited and produced seeds as normal healthy plant like the control.</p>}, journal={Current Botany}, author={Tanzena Tanny, Sabina Yesmin, Mst Muslima Khatun, and Protity, Anica Tasnim and Salimullah, Md and Alam, Iftekhar}, pages={08–12} }
