Abstract

Direct somatic embryogenesis from shoot apical meristems of pea is described. Somatic embryos were induced directly (without callus intervention) from meristematic tissues grown on a medium supplemented with 2.5 µM picloram. Within 4 to 5 weeks, fully morphologically developed somatic embryos were obtained. Somatic embryos originated from apical as well as from basal parts of meristem explants. The initiation and development of somatic embryos was asynchronous, basal somatic embryos developed more quickly than apical ones. Abundant secondary embryogenesis was observed after isolation of primary somatic embryos and culturing them on media for germination. Morphologically normal somatic embryos germinated on medium without growth regulators; the conversion rate was increased by application of 10 µM thidiazuron (TDZ). TDZ was also able to induce shoot bud regeneration on embryos without differentiated a shoot apex, allowing to germinate up to 78 % of all harvested somatic embryos with various morphology. The protocol was successfully tested in 47 out of 48 P. sativum and P. arvense cultivars as well as in two wild peas (P. elatius, P. jomardi).
