Abstract: | Embryogenic cell suspensions of Lavatera thuringiaca L. were established from leaf petiole and shoot regeneration was achieved when cells were plated on medium without growth regulators. We tested three methods for protoplast culture, isolated from a one-year old embryogenic cell suspension, to determine the best conditions for L. thuringiaca protoplast culture and shoot regeneration. The highest protoplast plating efficiency was obtained with the agaroseembedded method, reaching 30%, while the nursing culture method gave 5% when the protoplasts were plated over Whatman paper No. 2. However, the same nursing culture failed to produce protoplast-derived microcalluses when the protoplasts were plated on a nitrocellulose filter. The liquid thin layer method gave the lowest plating efficiency with only 0.5%. Shoot regeneration from protoplast-derived microcalluses was achieved in two steps; first, globular embryo development was favored in medium low in auxin (2,4-d and BA at 0.01 and 0.05 mg 1-1, respectively), second, the globular embryos further differentiate into shoots in medium without growth regulators or in medium containing GA3 (0.5 to 1.0 mg 1-1).Abbreviations 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - BA benzyladenine - GA3 gibberellic acid - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid |
