Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in Lilium longiflorum Thunb.

Friable callus was obtained from styles and flower pedicels of Lilium longiflorum Snow Queen and the Oriental lily hybrid Star Gazer on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media containing either 2 µM dicamba or 2 µM picloram. Cell suspension cultures were established by suspending the callus of L. longiflorum Snow Queen in liquid medium containing 2 µM dicamba.
