Figure 1

Different stages of organogenesis from leaf explants in carnation cultivars: A, B – explant type and callus induction after 21 days; C – green spots on the surface of the callus 25 days after sub-culture on the regeneration medium; D – efficient shoot induction on the MS medium supplemented with 3 mg·dm−3 of BA, 0.6 mg·dm−3 of NAA, 5 mg·dm−3 of AgNO3, and 40 mg·dm−3 of As two months after incubation; E – hyperhydric shoots regenerated in most explants; F – recovery from hyperhydricity on the modified MS (0.275 mg·dm−3 of NH4NO3) containing 0.5 mg·dm−3 of GA3, 0.3 mg·dm−3 of BA, and 0.1 mg·dm−3 of NAA after 2–3 weeks; G – shoot elongation on the MS medium with 1 mg·dm−3 of KIN and 0.1 mg·dm−3 of NAA; H – rooting on the ½ MS macro- and full micronutrients and 1.5 mg·dm−3 of IBA; I – the acclimatization of plantlets in the greenhouse with controlled climate system and high relative humidity; J, K – acclimatized plantlets transferred to the soil in the greenhouse (scale bars = 1 cm)
