title: Morphogenesis and plant regeneration from cultured endosperm of Emblica officinalis Gaertn.
abstract: Mature endosperm of Emblica Officinalis (Euphorbiaceae) formed a continously growing callus on MS medium supplemented with an auxin (2,4-D or IAA) and a cytokinin (K or BAP). Subculture of callus on MS with BAP (0.2 mg/l) and IAA (0.1 mg/l) resulted in formation of shoots and embryo-like structures in 50 and 8 per cent cultures, respectively. Regeneration of shoots was more frequent when both BAP (0.2 mg/l) and IAA (0.1 mg/l) were present than on BAP (0.2 mg/l) alone. The embryo-like structures produced plantlets.
