An efficient procedure is established here for plant regeneration from hypocotyl explants in Onobrychis subnitens Bornm., an important forage legume in Iran. Two types of calli, embryogenic and non-embryogenic, were induced from hypocotyl explants on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D and BAP at different concentrations. To initiate morphogenesis, embryogenic calli were transferred to MS medium with 0.5 mg·l-1 NAA and 1 mg·l-1 BAP. Initiated somatic embryos or adventitious buds developed into plantlets following culture on MS medium without any growth regulators or with 2 mg·l-1 NAA, respectively. All the regenerated plants were normal with respect to morphology and growth characters.
