The changes in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and amounts of proteins, phenols, and flavonoids in regenerating and non-regenerating calli during organogenesis of Sterculia urens were monitored. Maximum growth of calli and the most efficient regeneration of shoots occurred on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg dm-3 benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 2 or 4 mg dm-3 naphtalene acetic acid (NAA). Peroxidase (POD), catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities increased in the regenerating calli but decreased in the non-regenerating calli. Six POD isoenzymes were detected. Protein content decreased in the non-regenerating calli and increased significantly during regeneration of shoots from callus. Total phenols and flavonoids increased in the non regenerating calli. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed a role of many proteins in organogenesis.
