Cyclamen persicum Mill. (Primulaceae) is one of the most important ornamental crops sold worldwide
as a pot flower for winter production. Although it is commercially propagated via seeds, tissue culture
and somatic embryogenesis are important tools in breeding and mass propagation. This review provides
an overview of the tissue culture techniques available for the micropropagation of cyclamen. Protocols
for regeneration in vitro through callus culture and somatic embryogenesis are compared and optimized
results are highlighted.
