Abstract

Tender bracts were used for callus induction and shoot bud formation in "KBSH- 1", "BSH- 1 " and "Morden" genotypes of sunflower. High-frequency callus induction was observed on MS medium supplemented with NAA or 2, 4-D alone or in combination with BA. Such callus-reeenerated shoot buds after four weeks of incubation on MS medium with 0.1 mg/l BA in "KBSH- 1 " only. Further studies with other genotypes. Different cell lines and culture conditions are needed to obtain a high frequency of regeneration.

Keywords: Sunflower, bract explant, callus induction, shoot bud, formation.
