Different explants were cultured on MS media containing various levels of 2, 4-D, NAA, BAP, Kinetin and combinations of NAA & BAP. The findings of this research are summarized as under. Maximum seed germination (93.75 %) was observed in both SAM F1 and Munhen cultivars of Tomato on MS medium. Micropropagation increased with increase in time span, 95.83% and 90.97% cultures of SAM F1 and Munhen, respectively, showed regeneration in to complete plantlets in 10 – 25 days. Only anthers from Sahil cultivar of tomato respond for callus induction on different levels of BAP (2 – 4 mgL-1) after exposure to cold shock for 72 – 96 hours under both light and dark culture conditions. There was significant difference obtained for callus induction under light and dark culture conditions.
