Abstract

Somatic embryogenesis was achieved from mid-rib and internodal calluses of Mussaenda erythrophylla L. cvs. Queen Sirikit and Rosea cultured on Murashige and Skoog basal medium containing 8.9 μM BA+0.57 μM IAA+10 mg l-1 ascorbic acid. Clumps of somatic embryos were separated and grown into complete plantlets when transferred to 1/2 MS medium+37 μM adenine sulphate with 2% (w/v) sucrose.
