Abstract
Somatic embryos of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cultivar ‘Nanzhi 188’ were isolated and cut into fragments to be cultured on media with various cytokinins and auxins. Cytokinin induced of cassava shoot organogenesis, while auxin stimulated somatic embryogenesis. The effectiveness on organogenesis was different based on different cytokinins and in combination with auxins. Benzyladenine and thidiazuron stimulated more shoot organogenesis than kinetin and N-isopentenyladenine.
