[DIYbio] Callus with Plant Tissue Culture

I'm a TC hobbyist and I have a fairly basic question about calluses. In doing some research, it's my impression that callus are important for research and transformation purposes. My understanding also is that callus can be induced to differentiate into shoots or roots.

So from a hobbyist perspective, what's the best course of action with seedlings or whole plant shoots that are beginning to callus? Should I plate them to plain media to let the shoot develop and grow regardless of the callus? Or if I plate it to a cytokinin, will the callus produce additional shoots despite already being on a plant?
