An efficient and rapid regeneration protocol was developed from shoot tip explants of Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke variety WC-75. MS supplemented with low concentration of 2,4-D and Kn was most effective in producing embryogenic calli. Maximum regeneration potential of 40 shoots per calli were obtained when transferred to regeneration medium containing 1.0 mg/l Kn. Shoots developed were efficiently rooted within 15 days on the medium containing NAA. Over 90% of rooted plants were fertile after transfer to a net house.
