    Journal: J Genet Eng Biotechnol; 2016 Jun; 14(1):55-60. PubMed ID: 30647597.
    Abstract:
    A plant regeneration protocol via somatic embryogenesis was achieved in cotyledon and leaf explants of Capsicum baccatum, when cultured on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D, 0.5-5.0 mg l-1) in combination with Kinetin (Kn, 0.5 mg l-1) and 3% sucrose. Various stages were observed during the development of somatic embryos, including globular, heart, and torpedo-stages. Torpedo stage embryos were separated from the explants and subcultured on medium supplemented with various concentrations of different plant growth regulators for maturation. Maximum percentage (55%) of somatic embryo germination and plantlet formation was found at 1.0 mg l-1 BA. Finally, about 68% of plantlets were successfully established under field conditions. The regenerated plants were morphologically normal, fertile and able to set viable seeds.
