Abstract
The efficiency of somatic embryogenesis of calluses induced from celer y (Apium graveolens L.) (Fl variety, 1026-2) in an air-lift type ferme ntor was about half of that in flasks. The efficiency of somatic embry o maturation in an air-lift type fermentor was almost the same as that in flasks, and the efficiency in a stirred-tank type fermentor was ab out 70% of that in an air-lift type. We succeeded in producing 1,590,0 00 somatic embryos, and 296,000 plantlets after maturation by batch cu lture using a 30-l air-lift type fermentor.
