title: Somatic embryogenesis and subsequent plant regeneration from inflorescence callus of Bambusa beecheyana Munro var. beecheyana.
abstract: Somatic embryos of bamboo, Bambusa beecheyana Munro var. beecheyana were developed in callus derived from young florets and adventive roots obtained from floret callus. The medium was a modified Murashige and Skoog medium (1962) supplemented with 3 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2 mg/l kinetin, a high content of sucrose (6%) and 0.7% agar. The embryoids germinated spontaneously to yield whole plantlets on this medium with or without the hormonal adjuvants.
