Abstract: | Unpollinated ovary explants of Cayratia japonica (Thump.) Gagnep, were cultured on the revised Murashige & Skoog's medium supplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) alone, or in combination with 0.009 M thidiazuron (TDZ) or 0.23 M kinetin for induction of embryogenic callus. The best results were obtained on medium containing 2.3 – 4.6 M 2,4-d and TDZ. When the calluses were subcultured on the basal medium (BM), somatic embryogenesis took place spontaneously at surfaces of the calluses, but only about 5% of the somatic embryos could develop to cotyledonary stage and most of the rest remained at the globular stage of development. If the calluses were transferred onto medium containing TDZ or TDZ combined with 0.27 M -napthaleneacetic acid, the number of cotyledonary somatic embryos increased up to 25%. When the somatic embryos of different stages were transferred onto fresh BM, only the cotyledonary embryos could convert into the plantlets. The results revealed that for the induction of embryogenic callus and somatic embryogenesis of Cayratia japonica, both cytokinin and auxin are required in the medium and the cytokinin activity of TDZ is much stronger than that of kinetin even when the concentration of TDZ used was only 4% of kinetin.Abbreviations BA
