      abstract = {Brinjal is the second most important vegetable crop after  potato in Bangladesh in respect of total areas and third in  production. It also plays a vital role in the national  economy as a cash crop. An experiment was conducted with  two cultivars of brinjal namely Jhumky and Islampuri to  observe the callus induction ability of different  explants-shoot tip, hypocotyl and midrib in MS basal media  supplemented with different concentrations and combinations  of growth regulators. The rate of callus induction from  shoot tip, hypocotyl and midrib were 82.78%, 74.88% and  78.71%, respectively. Highest rate of callus induction was  found in shoot tip. Variety Islampuri showed higher rate of  callus induction (80.62%). Among the treatments 2mg/l NAA  showed the best performance in callus proliferation.  Cytokinin (0.5 mg/l BAP) showed highest percentage of shoot  regeneration (57.13%). For root induction, MS basal medium  was proved to be better treatment for average number  (12-15) of roots. The survival rate of transferred  regenerated plantlets after hardening was higher in Jhumky  (80%). Regenerated plantlets from callus of both the  varieties exhibited 4-9 times higher proline, 2-3 times  lower vitamin C and 2-3 times higher iron (Fe) content  compared to their seed derived seedlings. This experiment  showed that it is possible to develop shoot and fruit borer  tolerance brinjal genotypes through somatic embryogenesis  that was selected based on biochemical markers within the  very short period of time. These findings will be helpful  for further selection of the selected variants in field  condition in the next phase of the study.},
