Abstract
In the present paper we deal with the possibility of morphogenesis induction in callus tissue cultures of some representatives ofMatricaria andAchillea species. Shoot regeneration from calli ofMatricaria chamomilla andM. inodora has been induced by 0.1 mg l-1 kinetin or by combination of 0.5 mg l-1 kinetin and 0.5 mg l-1 NAA added to Murashige-Skoog culture medium. Rhizogenesis took place without any other addition of auxin. In callus tissue cultures ofAchillea ptarmica cultivated on Murashige-Skoog medium with 1 mg l-1 2,4-D after a year long cultivation the whole plant has been regenerated without any change of nutrient requirements. In callus tissue ofA. nobilis under the same conditions only roots wore regenerated.
