Abstract
Embryo culture of 5-10 mm long embryos of Prunus was investigated. The effects of various media on embryo enlargement, germination and plant formation were compared. Results show that embryos in all genotypes e nlarged during stratification on any tested medium. Beneficial embryo enlargement, germination and plant development of peach and nectarine occurred when cultured on WP medium. The embryos of a plum were more r esponsive to C(2)d medium for enlargement, germination and plant devel opment. All genotypes germinated well with a large number of embryos g rowing into plants on WP and C(2)d media.
