In vitro plantlet formation from flower petal explants of Hemerocallis cv. Chipper Cherry

Abstract
Plantlet regeneration was induced from callus tissue cultures obtained from petal parts of Hemerocallis cv. ''Chipper Cherry''. Callus cultures capable of regenerating whole plantlets were established on the agar-solidified Murashige and Skoog''s medium supplemented with 2,4-D (1.0 mg/l) + kinetin (1.0 mg/l). The callus formed was dense, yellowish-green, and had what appeared to be meristematic protuberances. Shoots and roots developed when the callus was subcultured on a medium lacking 2,4-D.
