In experiments with post-germinal embryo cultures of the soya varieties McCall and Eszter, the isolated embryos were incubated in modified 85 nutrient medium. Over a three-week period, rooting was almost 100 per cent. The various auxins examined did not stimulate root formation. The addition of 2 g/l active carbon to the nutrient medium promoted the development of a normal root system. Ca 30 per cent of the seedlings planted out can be raised. These plants flower and fruit earlier, having a shorter life cycle. Considerable differences can be observed between the varieties examined, particularly in shoot formation, which is more intense in the McCall variety.
