    Abstract: The effects of growth regulators, Thidiazuron (TDZ), silver nitrate (AgNO<SUB>3</SUB>), triacontanol and glutaminate on adventitious buds induction from anther culture of bitter melon (<I>Momordica charantia</I> L.) were investigated. It was found that triacontanol was advantageous for buds development and adventitious buds differentiated from anther culture of bitter melon first time. On medium supplemented with glutaminate 0.1 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, protuberant structures differentiated on the surface of callus. AgNO<SUB>3</SUB> and TDZ has no significant effect on promoting adventitious buds formation from anther culture of bitter melon.
