Abstract
Asexual embryos arose from callus derived from axillary bud shoot tips of 6 sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] plant introductions (PIs) when cultured on a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Transferral of embryogenic callus to auxin-free medium resulted in the continued development and eventual germination of individual somatic embryos and recovery of rooted plantlets.Keywords
