Plantlet regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in anther callus of Vitis latifolia L

Anthers of Vitis latifolia L.(wild grape) cultured on Nitsch and Nitsch medium supplemented with 20 micromolar 2,4-D and 9 micromolar BAP produced callus after 4-6 weeks. Subculture of callus onto Nitsch and Nitsch medium containing 10 micromolar NAA produced somatic embryos within 6 weeks. On growth regulator-free Nitsch and Nitsch basal medium somatic embryos converted to plantlets in 6-8 weeks. One gram of callus produced more than 400 somatic embryos with 13.7% being converted to complete plantlets, which were subsequently established in soil. Regenerated plants were found to have mixoploid populations of cells, 2n = 38 and n = 19.
