In this study, the effects of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), one of the most used growth regulators in plant tissue culture, on oat embryo culture was investigated. Mature embryos of 2 oat cultivars (Faikbey and Seydisehir) were used as explant sources. The effect of, five different doses of 2,4-D (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mg 1-1) on callus induction, callus weight, regeneration capacity and culture efficiency parameters were examined in vitro conditions, In the parameters examined for both cultivars, the application of 2 mg 1-1 2,4-D gave the highest results. As a result of cytological studies with root samples obtained from regenerants, it was determined that the dose of 2 mg L1 2,4-D did not cause any change in the number and structure of chromosomes. In oat mature embryo culture studies, it has been determined that a dose of 2 mg 1-1 2.4-D provides the highest tissue culture parameters and can be used safely as it does not cause any somaclonal variation.
