In vitro organogenesis has been obtained in several citrus cultivars by the cultivation of
epicotyl and internodal segments in BAP supplemented culture medium (Ghorbel et al., 1998; Moura et al., 2001; Almeida et al., 2002, 2006; Silva et al., 2005a, 2005b; Schinor et al., 2006) or with BAP and NAA supplementation (PErez-Molphe-Balch & Ochoa-Alejo, 1997, Bordon et al., 2000; Moreira-Dias et al., 2000, 2001; Schinor, 2006).

epicotyls of Aspidospermapolyneuron.
Those obtained from the cytokinin treatments showed high survival rate (86.795.6%), thickening of hypocotyls, strong reduction of
epicotyls and roots with few or no lateral root formation (Fig.
The
epicotyl (Figure 4A) consists of uniseriate epidermis with unicellular non-glandular trichomes, collenchymatous and parenchymatous cortex, and central cylinder composed of two collateral vascular bundles and phloematic strands that surround the parenchymatous pith.
Thus, the minimum optimal number of plants to be measured to represent the average hypocotyl length was 45, 53, 52 and 45 for BRS Valiosa RR, Agua-Marinha RR, UFVS 2010 and NK 7059 RR, respectively, whereas the average length of the
epicotyls was 49, 43, 51 and 49 for BRS Valiosa RR, Agua-Marinha RR, UFVS 2010 and NK 7059 RR, respectively (Figure 1).
curcas cultures: leaf, petiole, stem, cotyledons,
epicotyls, hypocotyls, penduncle, nodal segments, apical shoots and axillary bud-derived shoots (Kaewpoo and Te-chato, 2009; Rajore et al., 2002; Sardana et al., 1998; Sujatha and Mukta, 1996; Sujatha and Reddy, 2000; Thepsamran et al., 2008; Wei et al., 2004).
The magnitude of such effects and also the most suitable pH for growth varied among organs, but, in each one of the latter, trends for L and FW were similar, excepting
epicotyls and leaf blades (in which length was not measured).

The seedlings that presented
epicotyls with more than 0.5 cm of length above the substrate were considered emerged.
