Abstract

Linseed flax cultivars ‘Lirina’, ‘Barbara’ and ‘Szaphir’ were tested for their regeneration capacity through adventitious shoot organogenesis from hypocotyl-derived and stem segment-derived callus. Shoots number per explant was strongly influenced by genotype, culture medium and application of growth regulators. The highest shoot number per explant was obtained from hypocotyl-derived callus of cultivar ‘Szaphir’ on combined MSB5 media, supplemented by 2.0 mg l-1 N6-Δ2-isopentenyl adenine. Hypocotyl-derived callus gave the better results than stem segment-derived callus. Four week-old callus showed the maximum shoot regeneration frequency.

Key words: callus, genotype, growth regulators, linseed flax, shoot organogenesis.
