The objective of this research was to select callus of banana Kluai Hom Tong tolerated to water deficit by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 as a selective agent in aseptic conditions. The results showed that the MS medium containing 5 mg/L BA was suitable for inducing the highest number of shoots and initiated callus at the base of shoots. The 0.5 cm calli were cultured on MS medium containing 5 mg/L BA and 0 (control) 5, 10, 15 and 20 percent (w/v) of PEG for 2 months. It was found that MS medium containing BA 5 mg/L without PEG had an average shoot number of 5.1. Number of shoots derived from callus were decreased when they were cultured on MS media containing 5-15 percent PEG. The color of the calli changed to black color and the lethal percentage was 50-60 percent in MS medium with 10-15 percent PEG, while all calli changed to black at the level of 20 percent PEG . After calli were further cultured in the same media for one more month, the lethal percentage was increased. Then, all of the PEG-treated calli were transferred into MS medium containing 5 mg/L BA without PEG. The results showed that the new buds were induced from the survival callus derived from the media with 5-15 percent PEG, while none of the calli from 20 percent PEG developed into plantlet. In conclusion, the use of PEG at the level of 10-15 percent had a tendency to select the water-deficit tolerant callus of banana Kluai Hom Tong at the laboratory level
