Abstract. Regeneration via shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis was observed from thidiazuron (TDZ)-treated leaf and petiole explants of greenhouse- and in vitro-grown African violet plants. The response of cultures to other growth regulators over a range of 0.5 µM to 10 µM was 50% less than that observed with TDZ. A comparative study among several cultivars of African violet indicated that 'Benjamin' and 'William' had the highest regeneration potential. In 'Benjamin', higher… Expand
