Abstract: | A protocol for plant regeneration by somatic embryogenesis was developed in guava cv. Banarasi local by using immature zygotic embryo explants. Best induction of somatic embryogenesis was achieved from 10-week-old zygotic embryos on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-d (4.52 μM) and 5% sucrose. Maximum number of somatic embryos was produced when zygotic embryo explants were transferred to growth regulator free full strength MS basal medium after 8 days treatment with 2,4-d. Full strength MS basal medium containing 5% sucrose was most favorable for maturation of somatic embryos. Highest frequency of conversion and normal plantlet production were recorded from elongated torpedo stages of somatic embryos on half strength MS medium containing 3% sucrose. Over 90% of rooted shoots survived acclimatization. |
