Study on Cell Suspension Culture of Floribunda Rose

Friable callus was induced when immature seeds of floribunda rose were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D 3.0 mg-L-1.When transfered onto subculture media,fi-iable callus developed into embryogenic callus,which was used to establish cell suspension lines.Cell suspensions had to be subcultured at a interval of 4-5 days at the first several culture cycles.The best subculturing cycle for the stable cell suspensions was 8-10 days.The best inoculum quantity was 1 mL PCV(Packed Cell Volume) per 40 mL culture fluid.
