Abstract
Four coconut embryo culture protocols, developed from PCA, Philippines, UPLB, Philippines, IRHO, France and CPCRI, India were tried with two tall and two dwarf cultivars. There was no significant difference among the protocols for per cent embryos germinated. However, difference among the cultivars and cultivar-by-protocol interaction was significant. The in vitro growth was slow in CPCRI protocol but the survival of the plants and ex vitro establishment were good. Vitrification was noticed only in liquid medium. Least number of plants was retrieved through IRHO protocol.
