  ABSTRACT: Zygotic embryos tissues have found to be more responsive explants for clonal propagation of coconut. In the present study, the feasibility of using zygotic embryos explants for clonal propagation of a local coconut variety MATAG F2 was assessed. Callus was induced by incorporating of cytokinin and auxin into the medium. The sliced embryos explants were immersed in 1 M maltose for 60 mins, then with 0.05 M maltose for 1 min and followed by 0.01 M maltose for 5 mins was the best for prevention of phenolic compounds excretion. The callus formation depended on the concentration of 2,4-D in the media and the best effect was observed with the high level (2,4-D and BAP) tested. Attempts at inducing multiple shoot from the zygotic embryos callus were unsuccessful. No multiple shoots was present; most of the callus became root structure.
