Objective] This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration for an upland cotton cultivar Xinluzao33 under the induction of different hormone combinations and thus to determine the optimal hormone combination. [Method] Cal i of Xinluzao33 (Gossypium hirsutum L.) were in-duced from seedling hypocotyl tissue by a range of DK and BK combinations. Em-bryogenic cal i and embryos were induced on cal us-inducing medium (CIM) without any hormones. Cal us appearance and quality were compared to determine which medium was the optimal for cal us induction. Embryogenesis ratio was calculated to determine which medium was the best for somatic embryogenesis and plant regen-eration. [Result] Cal us induction rate was 100% in al the 12 hormone combinations. The cal i were yel ow or kel y, and their texture was loose or soft under low con-centrations of DK combinations, green or white, variably compact under high con-centrations of DK combinations. The cal i induced by BK combinations were kel y or green, covering creamy white substance. The best medium for cal us induction was DK6 (0.05 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.10 mg/L KT). Embryogenic cal i were successful y in-duced from al the combinations. The efficiency of embryogenic cal us induction, embryogenesis, and plantlet regeneration were significantly different among the 12 combinations. The result showed that the embryogenesis ratio was the highest in BK3 combination (0.50 mg/L IBA and 0.50 mg/L KT), 72.86% of embryogenic cal i differentiated into somatic embryos after being cultured on CIM for 80 d, and 80.93% of the somatic embryos final y regenerated into plants on SEM (somatic em-bryo induction medium). [Conclusion] These results indicate that hormone combina-tion BK3 (0.50 mg/LIBA and 0.50 mg/L KT) was the best medium for somatic em-bryogenesis and plant regeneration from Xinluzao33.
