Abstract: The immature embryo of "Reyan No.1" Areca catechu L. was used as explants in vitro, and the effects of different concentration of 6-BA and NAA on the embryo germination and growth were compared. The results showed that when the concentration of 6-BA was 2 mg·L-1, the growth of embryo was the fastest, and the development of bud and root were regular; when the concentration of NAA was 0.5 mg·L-1, the growth of root was the best, and the development of young seedlings were regular. These data provided important technical means for the tissue culture, resource conservation and utilization of arecanut.
