Abstract:

Somatic embryogenesis was successfully induced from immature embryos of Cinnamomum camphora. The best carbohydrate form was sucrose under the condition of MS+1.0 mg·L-1 BA + 0.1 mg·L-1 2,4-D + 700 mg·L-1 CH. After subculture of 2 years, embryogenic calli were observed on the somatic embryos. Embryogenic calli were transferred onto induction medium for somatic embryos initiation, maturation medium for somatic embryo maturing, and then to germination medium for shoot induction. The embryogenic calli could be induced to develop into plantlet and successfully transferred to outdoor environment.

Key words: Cinnamomum camphora, immature zygotic embryo, somatic embryo, embryogenic calli, plant regeneration
