Conteúdo: 	Calamansi (x citrofurtunella mitis J. Ingram and H. E. Moore syn: Citrus madurensis Lour, C. microcarpa Buenge) is of the most important commercial citrus in South and Southeast Asia. The Philippines produced 51, 291 MT of calamansi fruits from a total area of 11, 420 ha in 1987 alone (Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, 1988). Significant advances in tissue, cell and protoplast cultures of Citrus have been obtained for popular species like sweet oranges, grapefruits and mandarins. Little progress has been made on species of regional importance (Sim et al.,1989) such as calamansi. Ranga Swamy (1959) first cultured ovules of calamansi on White's medium with 5% sucrose. Two years later, an extensive study on tissue culture of ovaries, ovules, nucelli, nucellar,embryos and fruit tissues was made by Ranga Swamy(1961). He showed the maturation of fertilized ovules into seeds, the normal growth and differentation of proembryos in modified White's media with 5% sucrose, the formation and germination of nucellar embryos from pseudobulbils(callus originating from the micropylar portion of the nucellus), in vitro germination of nucellar embryos and the possibility of obtaining callus cultures from the pericarpo and juice sacs. Patena and co-workers (1978) succeeded in regenerating plants from cotyledonarry explants.
