In vitro regeneration system for a recalcitrant woody tree legume, Leucaena leucocephala (cvs. K-8, K-29, K-68 and K-850), from mature tree-derived nodal explants as well as seedling-derived cotyledonary node explants was developed. Best shoot initiation and elongation was found on full-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3% (m/v) sucrose, 100 mg/cubic dm myoinositol, 100 mg/cubic dm glutamine, 20.9 microM N 6-benzylamino-purine (BAP) and 5.37 microM 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Rooting was induced in half-strength MS medium containing 2% (m/v) sucrose, 100 mg/cubic dm myoinositol, 14.76 microM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 0.23 microM kinetin. The cultivar K-29 gave the best response under in vitro conditions. Rooted plantlets were subjected to hardening and successfully transferred to greenhouse. Further, somatic embryogenesis from nodal explants of cv. K-29 via an intermittent callus phase was also established. Pronounced callusing was observed on full-strength MS medium containing 3% (m/v) sucrose, 100 mg/cubic dm myoinositol, 40.28 microM NAA and 12.24 microM BAP. These calli were transferred to induction medium and maximum number of globular shaped somatic embryos was achieved in full-strength MS medium fortified with 3% (m/v) sucrose, 100 mg/cubic dm myoinositol, 15.0 microM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 5.0 microM BAP and 1.0 mM proline. Moreover, an increase in endogenous proline content up to 28th day of culture in induction medium was observed. These globular shaped somatic embryos matured in full-strength MS medium with 3% (m/v) sucrose, 100 mg/cubic dm myoinositol, 10.0 microM BAP, 2.5 to 5.0 microM IBA and 0.5 mM spermidine.
