Leaf explants of Nerium oleander L. produced masses of callus when both an auxin and a cytokinin were included in the medium. Leaves cultured on the B5 medium of Gamborg et al. supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-9; 9.05 ~tM) plus benzyladenine (BA; 4.4 laM) produced callus and pro

β¦ Synopsis
A successful procedure has been designed for the regeneration of plantlets from leaf sections of the self-pollinating species, Medicago suffruticosa. Callus growth was promoted by a 4-week culture period on liquid Kao's medium containing 4.9 #M benzyladenine and 4.5 #M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), followed by a 4-day treatment in which the benzyladenine was elevated to 44.4 #M. Shoots/plantlets were observed after 3-4 weeks culture on growth regulator-free agar-solidified medium. Under these conditions, the regeneration frequency from callus was 18% and a histological study showed that this regeneration was through somatic embryogenesis. The growth regulator treatment, with a relatively high concentration of growth regulators (44.4 #M benzyladenine) for a short time period (4 days), is important for inhibiting polyphenol compounds and for stimulating callus growth and plant regeneration.
