Morphology of somatic embryogenesis and plantlet formation in tissue cultures of lantern tree (Koelreuteria bipinnata var. integrifoliola)

Somatic embryogenesis of Koelreuteria bipinnata var.integrifoliola was observed,plantlet formation in different types of somatic embryos was studied and the effect of abnormal embryos on plantlet formation was identified.Results show that somatic embryos of K.bipinnata var.integrifoliola include normal embryos,embryos with abnormal cotyledons,vitrified embryos,albino embryos,secondary embryos,linked embryos,embryos with abnormal growing points and embryos with expanding hypocotyl.After 40 d of callus cultur...
