Zusammenfassung: | The present work describes the plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in two wild cotton species belonging to G genome: Gossypium nelsonii Fryx and Gossypium australe F Muell. The role of plant hormones and carbohydrates was also evaluated for somatic embryogenesis and somatic embryo development. Normal plants were obtained from G. nelsonii Fryx; abnormal plants and somatic embryos were obtained from G. australe F Muell. The best medium for callus induction for these G genome wild cotton species was MSB 5 supplemented with 0.1 mg L⁻¹ KT and 0.1 mg L⁻¹ 2,4-D. For embryogénie callus proliferation, the best medium used was MSB 5 supplemented with 0.2 mg L⁻¹ KT and 0.5 mg L⁻¹ IBA. The medium MSB 5 supplemented with 0.15 mg L⁻¹ KT and 0.5 mg L⁻¹ NAA was used successfully for root initiation and plant growth. In addition, adding CuSO₄ and AgNO₃ in the callus-inducing and proliferation medium resulted in a number of somatic embryos. Glucose and maltose, the carbon sources in somatic culture, were used for callus induction, but maltose worked even better than glucose for proliferation of embryogénie callus and development of somatic embryos.
