Abstract

Direct differentiation of shoot buds in Coffea dewevrei was evident from the seedling shoots with collar region and also from collar region end of hypocotyl segments in presence of 40 μM AgNO3, 8.88 μM of BA and 2.85 μM of IAA. Apart from this, shoot end of hypocotyl explants mainly supported yellow friable callus or somatic embryos. Subsequent transfer to the same medium induced secondary somatic embryogenesis. The collar region of the hypocotyl explants not only showed direct organogenesis by producing 1–3 shoots per explant and also able to produce globular somatic embryos and embryogenic yellow friable callus. Similarly direct somatic embryogenesis along with yellow friable embryogenic callus formation on 1/2 strength MS medium comprising 1.47 μM IAA, 2.22 μM BA and 40 μM AgNO3 was noticed from cut portion of in vitro leaf and stalk of regenerated plants. The microshoots rooted well upon subculturing onto the same medium in 6 weeks and showed 60 % survival in green house and resumed growth upon hardening.
