Abstract

A two-stage in vitro technique was established for the development of interspecific hybrid embryos in the genus Lens. The culture of 14-day-old fertilized ovules on MS medium supplemented with zeatin, followed by the release of the embryos from the ovular integuments, allowed the development of viable and vigorous plants.
