Title: Callus Induction and Plant Regeneration of Saffron
Abstract: The corms of saffron were used as explants to establish a regeneration protocol for Crocus sativus L.The corms incubated in MS+0.5 mg/L BA +1.0 mg/L NAA+7 %CM at first,then transferred to MS +5 mg/ L BA +5 mg/ L NAA for callus induction.Callus formation was observed after 51 days,culture and the callus induction rate was 65 %.After four weeks callus induction,the shoot regeneration rate(95 %) was obtained when 2 mg/L BA was combined with 1 mg/L NAA.The shoot buds were fragmented and transferred to root induction medium containing 0.5 mg/L IBA.Plantlets were then successfully transplanted to greenhouse.
