Abstract

Leaf explants of Populacao 5 arabica coffee were cultured on 2 types of media namely: Sondahl and Sharp (1977) (SS) and Kahia and Owuor (1990) (KO) with some adjustments. Rate of survival, callus production, amount of callus and embryo production during 50 days, 70 days, 8 months and 16 months were estimated. Explants cultured on KO medium showed higher rate of survival, amount of proliferating callus and rate of somato embryonic production while SS medium had lower rate of those aspects but higher deformation of somatic embryos. All survived explants produced calli on both medium. Supplement of coconut liquid endosperm did not show significant effect on development of somatic embryos.
