dc.description.abstractA protocol was developed for coconut regeneration using plumules from mature zygotic embryos as explants, and media with the synthetic growth regulators 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 6-benzylaminopurine. Evidence for the regeneration process from these tissues occurring through somatic embryogenesis is presented. The somatic embryos were capable of germination, subsequent development into plantlets and successful transfer to the nursery. The yields were larger, nearly twofold for calli and over tenfold for calli bearing somatic embryos, than those previously reported with inflorescence explants. The present protocol thus represents an improvement in time and yield over previous protocols. Even though plumule explants are not the ideal tissue source due to possible genetic heterogeneity, the improvements made here may be applicable to tissues from mature plants. In addition, micropropagation of coconut using plumules is potentially useful when they are obtained from fruit produced from selected parents of outstanding performance, such as those resistant to diseases.en_US
