Immature embryos from Z. sinica seeds were cultured on woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with 4.5 mu M 6-Benzylaminopurine (BA) and 5.4 mu M alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) to induce callus, and 60% of immature embryos formed callus. The cream-white, friable, nodular callus with proembryogenic structures was then cultured on WPM containing 5.4 mu M NAA in combination with 9.0 or 11.2 mu M BA to regenerate shoots; approximately five shoots per explant were induced on 70% callus. Shoots were rooted on WPM containing 0.5 mu M indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), on which mu M 62.3% shoots developed roots with an average of 4.2 roots per shoot at 4 weeks. The regenerated plantlets were acclimatized and transplanted into the field. This protocol could be used for mass production for field plantation, genetic improvement, and germplasm exchange of Z sinica. 收起
