M. Anzidei et al., IN-VITRO CULTURE OF FOENICULUM VULGARE - CALLUS CHARACTERISTICS IN RELATION TO MORPHOGENESIS, Plant cell, tissue and organ culture, 45(3), 1996, pp. 263-268
Callus induction and morphogenic response of several fennel population
s were determined by genotype and hormonal treatment. 100% callus form
ation occurred only in the Francia Pernod population under the action
of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid and
kinetin. Only this last hormonal treatment induced shoot regeneration
. Plant regeneration was observed especially in Francia Pernod populat
ion. Ths calluses grown in presence of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
or alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid plus kinetin, showed considerable diff
erences at cytological and histological level which were correlated to
their different morphogenic capability.
