Abstract: The present invention relates to the regeneration of corn. The process comprises the steps of:(a) culturing tissue obtained from a corn plant on a first medium which comprises mineral salts, vitamins sucrose and a hormone for callus formation;(b) subculturing the calli on a second medium which comprises mineral salts, vitamins, sucrose and a hormone for callus maintenance;(c) subculturing the calli on a third medium which comprises mineral salts, vitamins, sucrose and optionally a hormone for shoot and root formation; and(d) optionally subculturing said shoots on a fourth medium which comprises mineral salts, vitamins, sucrose and optionally a hormone for plantlet maturation including additional root formation, whereby plants are obtained.
