Abstract

The invention is directed to a process for regenerating plants from mature corn embryos. The process comprises the steps of culturing the mature embryo on a callus induction medium to induce callus, subculturing the callus on a maintenance medium to maintain the callus, and subculturing the maintained callus on a regeneration medium to produce plants.
