We have assessed the capacity of cultured protoplasts from two tissue sources of several commercially-grown broccoli cultivars to regenerate plants. A procedure that employs hypocotyl protoplasts and a culture medium with a high NAA:2,4-D auxin ratio was developed. The procedure permits highly effic

β¦ Synopsis
A system for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of spinach from hypocotyl segments has been established. Callus was induced on solid media supplemented with 8.5-15.0 mg.l(-1) of indole-3-acetic acid and 3.46-34.64 mg.l(-1) gibberellic acid. Callus was then subcultured on different media (solid or liquid) with or without IAA, or continuously maintained on the initiating media. Somatic embryos were obtained in subcultures on IAA-containing media as well as in long-term cultures on initiating media. The best results were achieved in liquid subcultures. About 60% of plantlets survived after transplanting in pots.

A sunflower genotype (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Florom-328) able to regenerate plants from in vitro cultures was identified by screening hybrids and inbred lines. Protoplasts of this genotype were isolated from dark grown hypocotyls and were cultured in droplets of agarose-solidified V-KM medium cove
In vitro plant regeneration has been obtained from Capsicum annuum cvs. Pico and Piquillo. Shootbuds were induced from hypocotyl and cotyledon segments after 15-20 days of culture on MS basal medium supplemented with IAA and BAP or Zeatin. Shoot-buds grew into rosettes that rooted in MS plus NAA (0.
