Abstract
An efficient regeneration procedure was developed for maize from mature embryos derived from
callus of maize inbred line. We found that 3mg/l 2-4 D in MS medium was optimum for the callus
induction .the induction frequency of primary calli was over 85%. Efficient shoot regeneration was
obtained on regeneration medium containing 0.5mg/l BAP in combination with 0.5 mg/l kinetin.
Regenerated shoots were rooted on half strength MS medium containing 1mg/l IBA. This plant
regeneration protocol provides a foundation for genetic transformation of maize.
