Abstract
Plants have been regenerated from embryogenic callus cultures of two varieties of Papaver bracteatum and successfully transplanted to soil. Regeneration occurred in good yield, around 40 plants to soil within 5 months per 0.4g piece of original callus. Thebaine concentrations comparable to those in seed-grown plants were obtained in callus-derived plants. It is suggested that there is potential for mass micropropagation of P. bracteatum, which may be useful in developing agriculturally-improved lines.
