Abstract: Calll with many embryogenic cell colonies were produced from segments of seedlling of Peucedanum terebinthaceum (Fisch.) Fisch. ex Turcz. which were cultured on the 1/2MS agar medium (with half quantity of macronutrients) containing 1 mg/l 2,4-D. Cell suspension culture with high percentage of embryogenic cell colonies was established from the calli shaking in liquid medium. The cell suspension culture was used for protoplast preparation. Protoplasts were obtained with the enzyme mixture containing 1.5% Onozuka R-10, 0.3% Macerozyme R-10, 0.5% Snailase, 5 mmol/l CeCl2, 1 mmol/l KH2PO4, 0.6 mol/l mannital at pH 5.8 and 25℃. Cultured in a modified MS liquid medium containing 1 mg/l 2,4-D+ 0.5 mg/l zeatin, the protoplasts emered division after four days, and formed cell colonies of 0.5–1mm after about forty days. When transfered to 1/2 MS liquid medium supplemented with zeatin (0.5 mg/l), the cell colonies differentiated in to embryoids, then developed into plantlets with many green leaves and roots on the 1/2 MS agar medium devoid of phytohormones.
