Abstract The in vitro embryogenic response of nine varieties of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) grown in México (five Mexican varieties: Puebla 76, Inia 76, Bajío 76, Sintético I and Sintético II and four foreign or introduced varieties: Moapa 69, San Joaquín II, Hairy Peruvian and Valenciana) were tested. We screened 25 genotypes from each variety in four tissue culture protocols. All the varieties, except San Joaquín II, gave a positive response in one or more of the protocols tested. The response in each variety was low; this was also observed in a wider screening performed with the varieties Moapa 69, Hairy Peruvian, Sintético I and Sintético II. Two plants from Moapa 69 were regenerated and appeared normal.
