Organ regeneration after median bisection of the sepal primordia of tobacco

G. S. Hicks, John F. Bell

Abstract

Young, newly emergent sepal primordia of tobacco were halved vertically and left attached to their floral meristem. Sterile culture of these meristems on a Linsmaier and Skoog medium for 8 days facilitated regeneration of a new sepal primordium from each original half. Sepal rudiments thus exhibited regulative behavior and are structurally labile.
