Summary The morphogenic capacity of Digitalis obscura L. root tip meristems cultured in vitro has been studied, noting hormonal factors inducing differentiation and development of shoots as well as those promoting somatic embryogenesis. Caulogenesis was obtained with different auxin/cytokinin combinations but a high rate of shoot regeneration was induced by 0.1 or 0.5 ppm IAA and 1.0 ppm BA. Different stages of somatic embryo development were observed in media supplemented with auxins or high auxin/cytokinin ratios, although no complete plant regeneration was achieved. This is the first report known of shoot regeneration from root tips of Digitalis obscura L.
