In vitro somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in Zantedeschia hybrids Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
A method for regeneration of plants from tuber explants of a Zantedeschia hybrid via somatic embryogenesis was developed. In vitro cultures were initiated starting from both anthers and tubers. Somatic embryogenesis was only achieved from tuber explants. 6-Benzyladenine (BA) at 0.6 or 2 mg l(-1) in combination with 2 mg l(-1) alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) yielded the highest number of embryos per explant. The somatic embryos converted into ...
