Abstract
SINCE Steward1 demonstrated the totipotency of plant cells the morphogenesis of plant tissues cultured in vitro has often been investigated. So far, embryoid formation has been found only in dicotyledons. We report here the production of embryoids and their subsequent development into complete plants in a culture of a monocotyledon, Asparagus officinalis L.
