Abstract
The authors have studied the conditions of induction of callus from the tissue of adult coconut stems, The aim is to find a method of vegetative propagation of the coconut by tissue culture, induction of callus was obtained on nutritive media of simple composition, in the presence of coconut water, at 31 C, and in the dark. The importance of the simultaneous presence of the ammonium and nitrate ions has also been shown. Cellular division produced cells of the embroid type. It now remains to study conditions for culturing these callus to find out whether the embroid cells can give rise to seedlings.
