Fig. 1. Callus induction and regeneration from immature inflorescence explants of hybrid bermudagrass Tifton 85. (a) Callus initiated from immature inflorescence (less than 3 cm) explants of Tifton 85 cultured on MS medium containing 30 g L1 sucrose, 4 mg L1 2,4-D and 0.01 mg L1 BAP for 4 wk in the dark. (b) Initial shoot regeneration on the same medium after 3 wk under a 16-h light regimen. (c) Regenerated plants of Tifton 85 rooted on hormone-free MS medium. (d) Regenerated plants of Tifton 85 after acclimatization in the greenhouse.
