Implementation of Murasheige & Skoog (MS) and Gamborg’s B5 medium in different varities of onion and garlic suggested that MS medium was superior over B5 medium in onion, whereas in garlic the same holds true but B5 medium medium supplemented with picloram 1.0 mg/l + kinetin 0.5 mg/l (leaf) and 2,4-D 0.1 mg/l + TDZ 0.1 mg/l (root) were best for callus induction.
