| Abstract: | Plant regeneration through somatic
embryogenesis has been developed in an economically important forest tree, Sapindus mukorossi Gaetin. Calli
obtained by culturing young leaf explants on MS medium containing growth
regulators, 2,4-D (6.7  M)
and Kn (9.0 M), when subjected to reduced levels of 2,4-D (2.2 M)+Kn (4.6mM), produced numerous
somatic embryos. Somatic embryos developed into complete plantlets on MS medium
devoid of growth regulators. The regenerated plantlets were successfully
established in the soil with 90% survival frequency after a few days of
acclimatization. |
