Abstract
The preparation of synthetic seeds of marsh gentian from apical and axillary meristems, using 0.1 M CaCl2 and 3 % solutions of sodium alginate (aquatic solution, aquatic with IAA, and with MS medium) and the results of regrowth of these seeds are discussed. The best regeneration occurred in the case of apical meristems encapsulated in 3 % sodium alginate prepared on the basis of MS medium.
