The process of plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis of two gentianas, <em>Gentiana tibetica</em> and <em>G. cruciata</em> was described. For this purpose seedling explants were cultured on agar medium and later maintained in cell suspension. For callus initiation seedling explants like: cotyledons, hypocotyl and root were plated on a callus induction medium (CIM) composed of MS (1962), supplemented with 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D and 1.0 mg/l Kin. For the formation of cell suspension culture, embryogenic callus was transferred into liquid maintained medium (MM) composed of MS (1962), supplemented with 1.0 mg/l Dic + 0.1 mg/l NAA + 2.0 mg/l BAP + 80.0 mg/l SA. The conversion of somatic embryo into plantlets required a new medium (ECM) based on MS (1962) mineral salts, supplemented with 0.5 mg/l GA<sub>3</sub> + 1.0 mg/l Kin + 0.5 mg/l NAA. For cytomorphological studies of particular stages of embryogenesis, specimens were stained with dyes and reagents: 1. PAS reaction with leukofucsin, 2. Safranin + fast green, 3. Erlich's hematoxylin.

Alfalfa is one of the most frequently studied species from the production of tissue culture-derived embryos point of view. In this study, five alfalfa cultivars were analyzed with reference to their ability to regenerate plants from protoplast cultures via somatic embryogenesis. Plant regeneration from leaf-derived protoplasts isolated from the cultivar Rangelander was achieved using a protocol defined for alfalfa cell suspension-derived embryogenesis. Because of its high efficiency, this procedure is recommended for protoplast electroporation-mediated genetic transformation of alfalfa.
