| Research Abstract |
The embryogenic callus and somatic embryo of Coffea arabica and C.canephora can be induced by cytokinin alone from the section of young leaf of mature trees. The cytokinin induced callus has a high embryogenic potetial and is very useful for clonal propagation. As cytokinin, 2-isopentenyl-adenine(2iP)is the best, and benzyladenin(BA), zeatin and kinetin also are effective for somatic embryogenesis from coffee leaf slices. Additional auxins act inhibitory effect on somatic embryogenesis. Protoplast were prepared from embryogenic calluses from C.arabica and canephora and cultured on Gelrite medium with cytokinin as a plant regulator. Somatic embryos were regenerated from protoplasts. These simplified method for preparation and culture of protoplasts is very useful for cell fusion and genetic engeering. Somatic embryos of Coffea were successfully cryopreserved after being exposed to a series of preparative steps ; precultured on media with increasing concentration of sucrose, encapsulated in alginate beads, dehydrated up to 30% and pluged into liquid nitrogen.
