<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">To determine the effect of coconut extract on callogenesis of <italic>Betula pendula</italic>, Roth stem barks were cultured in NT (Nagata and Takebe) basic culture media in two individual experiments: i) cultivation explant in different treatments of coconut extracts combined with 1 mg l−1 2, 4-D (2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and ii) callogenesis in NT media containing 1.5 mg l−1 2,4-D and 0.5 mg l−1 BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine) and then cultivation under the first experiment treatments.
