Abstract
Organogenic callus cultures of seashore mallow, Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl., originated from excised mature embryos or stem sections of aseptically germinated plants initially cultured on Murashige & Skoog minimal organics medium containing 30000 mg l-1 glucose, 2.0 mg l-1 indoleacetic acid and 1.0 mg l-1 kinetin. Plants were regenerated via shoots and roots from callus cultures following transfer through a series of media with different cytokinin/auxin ratios and changes in carbohydrate source. Meristematic regions, shoot and root primordia were observed during histological examination of the tissues. Somatic embryos were not found.
