Abstract
The procedures for micropropagation and plant regeneration from callus were developed for Allium fistulosum L., A. altaicum Pall., A. galanthum Kar. & Kir., A. roylei Stearn, and selected progeny of interspecific crosses of A. cepa × fistulosum, A. cepa × galanthum and A. cepa × oschaninii O. Fedtsch. Each of the genotypes exhibited shoot multiplication in micropropagation systems, and most regenerated plants from callus. The results demonstrate the general applicability of the picloram-based tissue culture model for the genus Allium. Chemical names used: 4-amino-3,5,6-tri-chloro-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid (picloram).Keywords
