Abstract: | Somatic embryoids differentiated in suspension cultures of G. klotzschianum after 3–4 weeks of culture in a liquid medium containing glutamine (optimally, 10–15 mM). Embryogenesis occurred after a preculture of callus on a medium containing 10 mg/l of the cytokinin, 2iP. The embryoids had meristematic regions, a well formed epidermis, and formed roots and vestigial leaves. Asparagine was much less effective than glutamine in promoting embryoid differentiation. The presence of 2,4-D in the medium resulted in increased vigor of the suspension cultures and subsequently in the formation of many embryoids, but does not seem to be necessary for somatic embryogenesis in cotton.Technical Article 14646 from the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station |
