Callus obtained from haploid plants of Nicotiana tabacum was inoculated on media containing indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) and benz(a)anthracene (BaA) in various combinations. No cytokinin was included in the medium. Vegetative buds and roots differentiated on this callus. Higher concentrations of BaA favored vegetative bud initiation while higher IAA concentrations promoted root formation. However, these treatments proved ineffective on the callus derived from diploid tobacco plants.
