Abstract
A method for reducing hyperhydricity of lettuce shoots regenerated fro m culture on liquid and gelled media is described. In the case of liqu id medium, hyperhydricity could be decreased by 30% by using a filter paper raft or a polyester screen raft to prevent immersion of inoculum in the culture medium. In the case of gelled medium, replacing agar w ith the water-absorbent resin SuperSorb could successfully prevent hyp erhydricity without depressing organogenesis.
