The aim of this research was to establish a long-term somatic embryogenic cultures that could be used for cryopreservation. For the induction of somatic embryogenesis, different levels of 2,4-D as well as the combination of 2,4-D and indole-3-acetyl-l-aspartic acid (IASP) were tested on cotyledons of zygotic embryos. The somatic embryogenic cultures were established and maintained up to 2 years through frequent subculturing on a medium containing 2,4D + IASP. Light, activated charcoal, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were tested for the regeneration and maturation of somatic embryos, and the mature embryos were germinated in JADS medium. The combination of light and PEG provided the highest number of mature embryos. The somatic embryos obtained were smaller than zygotic embryos and lacked starch. There was an interaction between 2,4-D and IASP on the induction and regeneration of somatic embryo in Myrciaria aureana. The combination of light and PEG increased the number of mature embryos; however, charcoal was detrimental to the process.
