Abstract
Plantlets were regenerated from in vitro-cultured seedling hypocotyls of ornamental cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. longata). The in vitro cultured shoots were originally induced from callus of explants on MS medium containing N6-benzyladenine (BA). Among different BA concentrations (1, 2, 4 and 6 mg l-1) tested, the most effective medium was MS medium supplemented with 4 mg l-1, showing the highest number of regenerated plantlets from an explant.
Key words: cabbage, callus, N6-benzyladenine (BA), in vitro regeneration
