Abstract
An embryogenic callus line derived from floret tissue of Bambusa oldhamnii Munro, and maintained in a Gelrite-solidified MS basal medium plus MS vitamins, 3 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2 mg/l kinetin, 6% sucrose for eleven years retained totipotency for embryo production.
However, only albino plantlets regenerated from seventy percent of these viable embryos.
Five percent of the albino plantlets flowered spontaneously and produced viable pollen.
Seventy five percent of this pollen was fertile.
