Organ Redifferentiation and Plant Restoration in Rice Callus

Nature volume 219, pages 508–509 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

RESEARCH into organ redifferentiation from the callus of dicotyledonous plants has recently increased, but work on such redifferentiation from monocotyledons is still rare. Rice1 and oat2 callus induction has been successful; oat callus on media containing no auxin has redifferentiated into large numbers of shoots and a few roots2. But neither shoot redifferentiation nor the restoration of the whole plant has been reported from rice callus; only root formation has been successful1,3. Recently, morphogenesis of asparagus callus was reported4. We report here the successful redifferentiation of shoots as well as roots, and the restoration of whole plants from rice callus.
