Abstract

Somatic embryogenesis was observed in callus initiated from tendril explants of Vitis vinifera L. cvs. Thompson, Sonaka and Tas-e-Ganesh on Emershad and Ramming medium supplemented with 1 µm 6-benzylaminopurine. Low-frequency conversion to shoots was obtained in the third and fourth subculture on the same medium. Emerging shoots subsequently formed complete plantlets on liquid rooting medium containing 1 µm indole-3-acetic acid. The possible use of tendrils as a novel explant for somatic embryogenesis in grape is discussed.
