Abstract
Subnodal callus of the F 71 maize /Zea mays L./ inbred was subjected to selection for friability and intensive proliferation. This procedure resulted in three callus lines characterized by uniform structure and improved growth rate. Some characteristics of these lines as well as attempts to establish maize suspension cultures are described.
