Abstract

Inflorescence slices of tall bearded iris (Iris sp.) regenerated callus in vitro on a modified Murashige-Skoog high salt medium supplemented with 2.5 mg/liter napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.5 mg/liter kinetin. Callus pieces transferred to light initiated plantlets at their periphery and produced fuU-sized, true-to-type flowering plants when transplanted to soil.
