Abstract
Callus induction and plant differentiation were obtained in an intergeneric hybrid of Saccharum officinarum and Sclerostachya fusca. The sub clones showed morphological variation. Chromosome numerical variation was not observed but structural aberrations were noticed in some sub clones. The study indicates the use of tissue culture technique for inducing intergeneric gene transfer in Saccharum hybrids.Keywords
