Abstract This work presents the preliminary results of in vitro studies with Araujia sericifera, which is cultivated for ornamental purposes. Immature seeds from wild plants were used to start the cultures. Somatic embryos and friable embryogenic calluses were obtained from white cotyledons in media containing naphthaleneacetic acid and benzyladenine or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Plants were regenerated from these somatic embryos. Cell suspensions obtained from friable calluses cultured in M1 modified medium showed a considerable growth capacity. The packed cell volume was doubled in about 15 days of culture at the exponential phase. the results obtained may be used to design further experiments with the aim of improving somatic embryogenesis.
