Abstract
Cold treatment of seeds, obtained from crosses between cultivars ofT. gesneriana L., affects the developmental stage of embryos, which in turn influences the frequency of callus induction and the development of different callus types. Cold-treated, mature embryos and basal segments ofin vitro-derived bulblets, were suitable explants for the initiation of regenerative callus on medium with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The bulblets were initiated on flower-stalk segments from cold-stored bulbs ofT. gesneriana ‘Christmas Marvel.’ Histological analyses of regenerative callus revealed the regeneration of bulb-like structures. The influences of culture medium, culture conditions, growth regulators and acetylsalicylic acid, an inhibitor of ethylene, on the initiation and establishment of regenerative callus cultures are discussed.
