STUDIES ON THE MORPHOGENETIC CAPACITY OF CALLUS AND ORGANOGENESIS IN ASPARAGUS OFFICINALIS L.

Four types of callus in Asparagus officinalis L. were observed, The light green, compact and tubercular callus was a typical callus of organogenesis. The light yellow, friable and granular callus was a typical callus of embryogenesis. The organ primordia derived from the meristematic cellular masses with monopolarity. Generally, the bud primordia originated exogenously and the root primordia produced endogenously.
