Abstract

Somatic embryos were induced from immature cotyledons and cultured on a MS medium containing 40mg/L 2,4-D. The maximum induction of embryos was obtained from immature cotyledons in a size of 3-4mm, and the highest frequency was obtained in the induction medium at pH 7.0. For embryo development, embryogenic tissues were transferred to a MSM6AC and MSM6 media. Developing embryos were placed at 27$^{\circ}C$with dim light (20$\mu$$molm^{-2}$$s^{-1}$) provided by cool fluorescent tubes (3-D wavelength light is better than standard light). Somatic embryos were clearly developed from globular stage to cotyledonary stages. The color of embryo may be a useful parameter for estimation of embryo quality. When the embryo becomes mature, embryo will be ready for desiccation in order to induce roots and shoots of embryos.
