Abstract
Organogenic callus cultures ofPapaver somniferum L. were studied with the aim of describing the morphology of the callus and observing the changes occurring during differentiation and induction of organogenesis. The morphology of the cells and the formation of meristemoid areas were studied on a light microscopic level. Histological evidence showed that from the inner meristematic centres, protracheal elements are differentiated, from the surface meristematic centres meristemoids are formed and therefrom green leaf-like organoids.
