Explants from three different ages, including the foliar embryo of ozonated and non-ozonated marginal leaf tissue from Bryophyllum calycinum were cultured on modified formulations of Murashige and Skoog's medium. Kinetin 2,4-D and IAA were added to the media individually or in combination. The development of the embryos was affected by tissue age, media composition and prior exposure to ozone. The production of callus, shoots, roots and anthocyanin were all in response to different sets of culture conditions.
