Özet

Somatic embryogenesis was obtained from 0.5 cm long immature inflorescences of eight Turkish dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum Poir.) accessions on LS (Linsmaier and Skoog) medium supplemented with various concentrations of dicamba and picloram. It was observed that 7.5 mg l-1 picloram in LS medium was more appropriate for somatic embryogenesis compared to any concentration of dicamba. No difficulty was experienced in converting somatic embryos on LS medium containing half concentrations of macro-, microelements and vitamins. All plantlets established and acclimatized successfully in greenhouse conditions.
