For both explants, calli induced on 6‐benzylaminopurine (BAP)‐containing medium had significantly improved regeneration ability. The optimal concentration of BAP for the induction of regenerable callus from mature seeds was 0.1 mg/l. Thidiazuron also improved callus regeneration frequency of mature seeds. Casein hydrolysate, L‐proline and myo‐inositol improved callus induction of immature embryos but not mature seeds. They did not improve callus regeneration frequencies with either explant tissue. By simply slicing the mature seeds into two halves longitudinally, the callus induction frequencies, as well as the corresponding overall plant regeneration frequencies, were increased approximately three‐ to six‐fold in all three combinations of 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and BAP in callus induction media.}, number={3}, journal={PLANT BREEDING}, author={Bai, Y and Qu, R}, year={2001}, month={Jun}, pages={239–242} }

Callus induction was initiated from mature seeds on a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 9·0 mg l–1 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4‐D). Induced calli were subcultured on the same medium with 2·0 mg l–1 2,4‐D and then transferred to a MS medium supplemented with 2·5 mg l–1 6‐benzylaminopurine (BAP) for plant regeneration. Significant differences were observed among the twenty‐five cultivars in both callus induction and plant regeneration (P < 0·001). Callus induction rate of viable seeds varied from 4·4% to 51·9%. Callus regeneration rates ranged from 16·7% to 58·8%. Overall regeneration rates (number of regenerated calli over number of cultured viable seeds) ranged from 1% to 22%. Approximately 94% of the regenerants were green plantlets.}, number={4}, journal={GRASS AND FORAGE SCIENCE}, author={Bai, Y and Qu, R}, year={2000}, month={Dec}, pages={326–330} }
