六十年代以来采用植物组织培养的技术诱导产生了许多植物的类胚体,但是对山茶科油茶体细胞胚状体的发生尚未见报导。1978～1979年我们对上述问题做了一些试验,并获得了油茶体细胞胚状体。在人工诱导油茶体细胞产生胚状体的过程中高浓度的2.4—D(2mg/L)是一个主要的因素,而在油茶体细胞分化的过程中细胞本身在植物体中的地位:一子叶基部表 Since the 1960s, plant tissue culture techniques have been used to induce the production of many plant embryoid bodies. However, there has been no report on the occurrence of somatic embryoid bodies of Camellia oleifera. From 1978 to 1979, we did some experiments on the above problems and obtained Camellia somatic embryoid bodies. High concentration of 2.4-D (2mg / L) was a major factor in artificially inducing somatic embryogenesis in Camellia oleifera somatic cells. In the process of somatic cell differentiation of Camellia oleifera, the cell itself is located in the plant: a cotyledon base table
