Abstract
The ability of plants to regenerate from cultured cells is known to depend on the genotype and the age of the maternal plant, the type of the organ from which the explant was isolated, the composition of the nutrient medium, and the conditions of culturing (Phillips et al., 1988). In maize the formation of embryogenic callus is a key stage for the subsequent plant regeneration. The highest effectiveness in callusogenesis was found for immature embryos. In turn the frequency of embryogenic callus formation by embryos varied from zero to 100% depending on the genotype (Morrish et al., 1987). Taking into account the significance of endogenous phytohormone balance in determination of regeneration capacity (Butenko, 1975), it can be supposed that the level and the ratio of endogenous growth regulators essentially influence cell competence for morphogenesis.
