Abstract
We have compared regeneration proficiency for cultured explants from different tissues of different ecotypes ofArabidopsis thaliana. Proficiency varies widely with both tissue and ecotype, and is highest when the flux of light during regeneration is low. Analysis of F1 hybrids suggests that high proficiency is dominant to low proficiency.
