Abstract: | Summary Zygotic embryos ofArabidopsis thaliana showed three different types of developmental response, when cultured in vitro: (1) normal development, (2) formation of morphogenetic callus, and (3) somatic embryogenesis. Early zygotic embryos were mechanically isolated and inoculated into different volumes of various culture media. It was possible to isolate embryos to the octant stage. Survival and further development in culture were observed in embryos to the early globular stage. Culture success increased with the initial size of the cultivated embryos. Neither the volume of the culture medium nor its composition were found to significantly influence the proportion of embryos developing in vitro. Whereas normal development from stages beyond 35 m diameter was possible without phytohormones, callus formation was frequently observed in the presence of phytohormones, even if used at very low concentrations. Embryos smaller than 35 m formed callus even without added phytohormones, and the proportion of embryos undergoing callus formation decreased with increasing embryo size at the time of culture initiation. Shoot morphogenesis was easily induced in embryo derived callus. Somatic embryogenesis was reliably observed during the culture of embryos from later stages (post heart-shaped) in liquid medium on a shaker.Abbreviations IAA indoleacetic acid - KIN kinetin - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid |
