Plant Regeneration from Seed-Derived Callus in Perennial Ryegrass

Perennial ryegrass의 종자유래 캘러스로부터 식물체 재분화

This study was camed out in order to establish plant regeneration via seed-derived callus of perennialryegrass.Varietal difference in callus growth and plant regeneration was obvious between two cultivars of perennialryegrass. "Reveille" showed a relatively high capacity for plant regeneration. The MS medium was superiorto SH or Bj in callus formation and plant regeneration. The highest regeneration frequency (60%) from calluswas obtained in presence of 5 mg/ l 2,4-D and 1 mg/ t kinetin. Regeneration response varied among calluscultures initiated from the same cultivar. Regeneration frequency was the most effective in 6 weeks-old calliafter initiation and lost their regeneration capacity gradually over a period of 12 weeks.(Key words : Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Plant regeneration)e L.), Plant regeneration)
