Protocols have been developed for the in vitro production of plants from callus derived from root explants of Lathyrus sativus cv. P-24, Callus and shoot regeneration were achieved only in MS medium supplemented with 10.7 p,M naphthaleneacetic acid and an increased concentration of kinetin (0.9 ~M for 14 days to 1.4 ~M for 18 days) during callusing. The shoots obtained rooted in 1/2MS supplemented with 0.5 p~M indolebutyric acid. During the year plants have been regenerated several times, The requirement for growth regulators is very specific and narrow.

The presence of oxalyl-CoA synthetase was observed in common edible pulses. Excepting in chick pea, the changes in oxalyl-CoA synthetase activity of winter pulses proceeded in stages. The enzyme remained more active in late strains than in early strains of winter pulses. Unlike the activity of the enzyme in winter pulses, that in summer pulses behaved differently.
