Two cultivars, 'Louise Bonne Panachee' (P1092), a variegated cultivar in which LIII has no chlorophyll and 'Red Hardy', a red mutant in which LII produces anthocyanins were used. Excised leaves of these two cultivars were cultured on a regeneration medium consisting of Nitsch & Nitsch (1969) salts supplemented with 3 uM TDZ and 5.4 uM NAA. After two months, the regenerants were transferred to a Lepoivre's proliferation medium, and later evaluated for their chimeral status. Among 'P1092' regenerants, most were green in color and only a few albino shoots were observed. Among 'Red Hardy' regenerants, both red and green shoots were recovered. The red and green regenerants were assessed for their true-to-type using media supplemented with different levels of sucrose. In addition, total anthocyanins content was also determined. The adventitious regeneration system proved to be useful for chimeral separation when compared to other procedures such as rapid shoot proliferation method.","Shoots of 'Seckel' pear were successfully rooted on Lepoivre media supplemented with 2 to 4 mg/L NAA.","The effect of additional photoperiod on the ex vitro growth of 'Seckel' pear regenerants was studied.
