Abstract
Diploid callus cultures of four birch genotypes are used for examining the interaction of the genotypic and the environmental effects on forming the phenotype. The characters observed were growth and colour of the calli after culture under eight different light conditions for six weeks on a modified MS-medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962).
The results show, that under the applied conditions the genotypic effects have a stronger influence on the phenotype than the environmental effects have. They depend on the genotypes, so that at least one-sided separability of the genotypic from the environmental effects could be observed.
