ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro morphogenic potential of genipap (Genipa americana L.) zygotic embryos. Seeds obtained from ripe fruits had their zygotic embryos excised and inoculated in MS medium with 4.44µM of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and supplemented with 0.0; 1.07; 2.14 and 3.21µM of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The potential of explants regeneration and the shoot length and number of leaves in plantlets were evaluated. The in vitro regeneration of genipap is possible from the conversion of zygotic embryos in a MS medium with 4.44µM BAP supplemented with 3.21µM NAA.
