A simple protocol has been developed for high frequency protoplast regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in B. napus. Protoplasts isolated from hypocotyl tissue of 8-12 day old seedlings of Brassica napus ISN706 (AACC) when cultured in KM(A) medium resulted in divisions with a, frequency ranging fr

β¦ Synopsis
Plantlet regeneration through somatic embryogenesis has been achieved in the apocynaceous medicinal tree Thevetia peruviana L. Calluses obtained by culturing young leaf discs on MS medium containing 9 IxM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 4.6 IxM kinetin, when subjected to reduced levels of the growth regulators followed by higher cytokinin treatment, produced numerous somatic embryos. Somatic embryos developed into complete plantlets on a medium devoid of growth regulators. An average of 40-50 plantlets were obtained from 50 mg of embryogenic callus. Survival of transplants was 60% under glasshouse conditions.

The plant regeneration ability of zygotic embryo-derived callus cultures was studied for 12 A. cepa varieties and accessions, two A. fistulosum varieties, one A. fistulosum x A. cepa interspecific hybrid and two A. porrum varieties. Compact embryogenic callus was induced on Murashige and Skoog (MS)
Culture conditions for high frequency somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from cotyledonary explants of Codonopsis lanceolata are described. The maximum induction frequency of somatic embryos from cotyledonary explants was 80% on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 6% sucrose with 1
