Myrciaria dubia, or "camu camu," accumulates high concentrations of vitamin C in its fruits, offering potential health benefits. However, the inconsistency in the concentrations of this vitamin makes its marketing and global valuation difficult. To address this problem, biotechnological tools such as somatic embryogenesis could allow the in vitro cultivation of elite plants that maintain the highest quality standards. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of phytoregulators for the induction of somatic embryos in leaf explants of M. dubia. Twenty-five treatments were established that combined different concentrations (0; 1.5; 6; 15 and 30 µM) of auxins and cytokinins. The auxins used were indoleacetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and naphthaleneacetic acid; and the cytokinins were kinetin, 6-benzylaminopurine, and thidiazuron. The results indicated that the ph...
