title: Propagation of Coriandrum sativum L. through somatic embryogenesis.
abstract: A highly embryogenic callus was obtained from hypocotyl segments of Coriandrum sativum L. when cultured in the medium consisting of MS + H vitamins (MSH). Induction of somatic embryos required 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or napthalene acetic acid. Germination of fully developed embryos was accomplished by subculture on half strength MSH medium containing benzylamino purine 0.05 mg/L. Plantlets developed from somatic embryos were transferred to soil and were successfully flowered.
