Plant regeneration was achieved from both a spontaneous clone (Bragança) and Brewer's Gold variety ofHumulus lupulus. The results obtained for these two different genotypes were compared. The organogenic ability of petiole and stem segments was tested on three different basal media supplemented with 0.025 mg (0.14 μM) indole-3-acetic acid/L and 2 mg (8.87 μM) 6-benzylaminopurine (N⁶-benzyladenine)/L. These conditions induced rather heterogeneous responses, which depended mainly on the explant source and the genotype. Because of the high organogenic competence revealed by the spontaneous clone on modified Murashige and Skoog medium, several hormones in different combinations were tested to optimize conditions for adventitious shoot regeneration in this clone. The best relation between the average shoot number/callus and the regeneration rate was achieved with 0.025 mg (0.14 μM) indole-3-acetic acid/L and 2 mg (8.87 μM) 6-benzylaminopurine/L or with 0.02 mg (0.11 μM) indole-3-acetic acid/L and 1.5 mg (6.97 μM) kinetin/L, which enabled 72 and 59% of regeneration, respectively. The regenerated plantlets could be acclimatized with 90% success.
