Abstrakt: Compact, friable and embryogenic calli were initiated from immature inflorescences and young leaf bases of one week old seedlings of Paspalum scrobiculatum cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D. A stable, embryogenic suspension culture was initiated from these calli and maintained in a liquid version of the same MS medium. Embryogenic calli and somatic embryos were obtained by plating suspension culture cells onto semi-solid medium containing 2,4-D. Complete, normal plantlets developed on 2,4-D free medium at a high frequency from somatic embryos. NAA and BAP in the medium promoted plant development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
