Summary The explant used to initiate embryogenic callus and the growth regulators used in subsequent induction (IM) and embryo development media (EDM) both influenced rate of somatic embryo development and conversion to plantlets in asparagus. Embryogenic callus derived from spear-cross sections (SS), in vitro crowns (IVC) and lateral buds (LB) was cultured on IM of MS salts and vitamins with 2, 4-D or NAA at 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 or 10 mg/l and kinetin at 0, 0.1, 1.0 or 10 mg/l. The auxin 2,4-D at 1–10 mg/l, in combination with kinetin at 0–1 mg/l, in IM induced the highest frequency of embryos after four weeks; callus derived from SS, IVC and LB had means of 394, 382, and 344 small globular embryos, and 4, 11 and 9 bipolar embryos per gram of callus, respectively. After 6 weeks on EDM, 128, 116 and 51 bipolar embryos (4–7 mm in length) occurred per gram callus and 4.5, 1.4 and 2.1 embryos converted for IVC, SS and LB, respectively. NAA at 1–10 mg/l, in combinations with kinetin 0–1 mg/l, yielded means of 64, 175 and 225 small globular embryos per gram callus on IM for SS, IVC and LB, respectively. NAA promoted a higher rate of embryo development: means of 27, 54 and 91 bipolar embryos per gram callus for SS, LB and IVC, respectively, on EDM. There were 0.5, 9.4 and 11.9 plantlets from these respective callus sources. There was no difference between kinetin levels of 0–1 mg/l on callus growth and embryogenesis, whereas, 10 mg/l in IM was inhibitory.
