Abstract:A simple and efficient procedure was developed for regeneration of a tetraploid cultivar ofAlstroemeria (A. pelegrina x A. psittacina) via somatic embryogenesis in liquid cultures. Embryogenic callus induced from mature zygotic embryos, cultured on MS medium supplemented with 40 μM NAA and 20 μM kinetin, was used as inoculum for liquid cultures. Pre-culture of the callus on MS medium supplemented with 80 μM NAA for two days was essential for cell proliferation in the liquid medium. Embryogenic cell aggregates, obtained by sieving through a 750 μm nylon mesh, continued to proliferate in media containing 10 or 20 μM NAA and 10 or 20 μM kinetin. When transferred to a semi-solid half strength MS medium supplemented with casein hydrolysate, cell aggregates successfully differentiated into plantlets which later grew to maturity under greenhouse conditions.
