To investigate the regeneration potential of Lotus maritimus L., the stem, hypocotyl, cotyledon, root, and epicotyl were cultured in MS media containing different combinations of alpha-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) concentrations (1, 2, and 4 mg L-1) and cytokinin types [0 (control), 1 mg L-1 of 6-Benzilaminopurin (I3AP), and 0.5 mg L.1 of kinetin]. The highest callus induction was achieved with the stem and epicotyl explants at 1 or 2 mg L-1 concentrations of NAA plus 0.5 mg L-1 of kinetin. The best plant regeneration values (3.56 and 3.20 shoots per callus) were del ermined with the epicotyl and hypocotyl cultured in MS media containing 1 mg LI of NAA. The obtained shoots were easily rooted in half-strength MS media containing 1 mg L-1 NAA and substantially adapted to the external environment.
