✦ Synopsis
Somatic embryos were produced in seven cultivars of Exacum affine Balf. using flower buds and peduncles as explants. Flowering plants were produced from five of the cultivars, and no visible mutations were detected. The best medium for callus induction and growth was MS supplemented with 9.0 ~M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and either zero or 0.089 I~M BA. Callus suspensions were made by passing the callus through a 100 I~m sieve. The best embryo regeneration was achieved on growth regulator-free medium. Callus and embryos could be grown in liquid medium.

Cell suspension cultures, which retained embryogenic potential for almost 2 years, were established from young, expanding, juvenile leaves of a mature Thevetia peruviana L. tree. Calli were obtained by culturing young leaf discs on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (
A system for high frequency plant regeneration from cell suspension cultures in Catharanthus roseus is described. Calli were obtained from anthers cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 1 mgl(-1) α-naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.1 mgl(-1) kinetin. After the second subculture on sol
