<br/><br/> We used in vitro root explants derived from fruit-bearing, hermaphroditic papaya (Carica papaya L.)plants of cv. Tainung No.2 for somatic embryo induction. Thirty-five sets of 2,4-D and BAP combinations were compared, and the best combination was 1.0 mg l-1 2,4-D with 0.1 mg l-1 BAP which provided up to 38
