Work un improvement of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) using tools of biotechnology is limited. Development of a reliable in vitro plant regeneration procedure for this important cereal is a prerequisite for its improvement by genetic transformation. Here, we report the effects of three growth regulators (GRs), 2,4-D (2,4-dichlurophenoxyacetic acid), picloram (4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid), and dicamba (3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid), on callus induction and plant regeneration from scutellum cultures of four commercial durum cultivars: Ben, Mater, Munich, and Lebsock.

Callus ...
