Summary Embryogenic masses were obtained from immature leaves of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultured on a medium containing 20 mg/l 2,4-D. Somatic embryos developed from these masses following transfer to a medium containing 3 mg/l 2,4-D. The embryo morphology was quite variable. Following transfer to hormone-free medium, these embryos germinated. Shoot elongation was obtained in 25% of the embryos following transfer to a medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l each of BAP and Kn. The plants grown in vitro by this method survived in sand:soil mixture and were grown to maturity.
