The effect of three concentrations of five different cytokinins, i.e. 6-benzylamino purine, 2-isopentyl adenine, kinetin (Kin), thidiazuron and N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea (4-CPPU), was evaluated on the in vitro direct shoot organogenesis of epicotyl explants of sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.). The basal medium used was that of Murashige and Tucker and epicotyl explants were incubated in medium supplemented with the prementioned cytokinins for 45 days. The addition of Kin and 4-CPPU in the medium enhanced the direct shoot organogenesis of sour orange epicotyl segments. The concentration of each of these two cytokinins which gave the best results, was combined with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or α-naphthalene acetic acid (α-NAA) at concentrations ranging from 0. presented equally high organogenesis percentages (91.7%). The incubation of the produced shoots, in medium supplemented with either indole-3-butyric acid or α-NAA resulted in high rooting percentages (up to 90%) and the rooted explants were successfully acclimatized under mist (85%). Although 4-CPPU has been used in in vitro culture of various species, this is the first report on its use in the direct shoot organogenesis of citrus species and could be of great value in citrus genetic transformation protocols using epicotyl segments, since this cytokinin resulted in the absolute organogenesis percentage.

El N-(2-cloro-4-piridil)-N-fenilurea (4 CPPU) mejora la regeneración in vitro vía organogénesis directa de segmentos de epicótilo de Citrus aurantium L. en comparación con otras citoquininas de uso comúnSe evaluó el efecto de tres concentraciones de cinco diferentes citoquininas [6-bencilaminopurina; 2-isopentil adenina; kinetina (Kin), tidiazurón y N-(2-cloro-4-piridil)-N-fenilurea (4-CPPU)], en la organogénesis directa in vitro de explantes de epicótilo de naranjo amargo (Citrus aurantium L.). Se incubaron durante 45 días explantes de epicótilo en medio Murashige y Tucker suplementado con las cinco citoquininas. La adición de Kin y 4-CPPU en el medio aumentó la organogénesis directa de segmentos de epicótilo de naranjo amargo. Se combinó la concentración que dio mejores resultados de cada uno de estas dos citoquininas con ácido indol-3-acético (IAA) o con ácido α-naftaleno acético (α-NAA) en concentraciones desde 0,01 hasta 0,2 mg L -1 . La inclusión de IAA a 0,2 mg L -1 en el medio con 4-CPPU a 0,05 mg L -1 resultó en un 100% de éxito en la organogénesis directa, mientras que la combinación de Kin a 0,25 mg L -1 con IAA o α-NAA, ambas a 0,01 mg L -1 , resultó en un 91,7% de organogénesis.
