Summary
Vicia faba callus line (VFS 1), isolated from expiants of immature embryo, grew satisfactorily onMurashige andSkoog complete medium with 1.38 μM 2,4-D, or with 0.92 μM 2,4-D to which 1.0 μM kinetin was added. It also grew well on the B 5 modified medium containing 2.3 μM 2,4-D and 25.0 μM kinetin. On the last of these media the cultures grew more uniformly and without necrosis. They also showed diminishing variation in polyploidy in favour of diploids and corresponding aneuploids (hypodiploids).
After being cultured for nearly three years on MS containing 1.38 μM 2,4-D, 8–33% of cultures of VFS 1 were able to regenerate roots when transferred to either MS half strength with 5.37 μM NAA, or to a medium without 2,4-D, or else to media with the addition of kinetin only (in various concentrations).
