Título em português: Embriogênese somática e regeneração in vitro de clones elite de Theobroma cacao.  aThe objective of this work was to evaluated a procedure for somatic embryogenesis and regeneration of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) elite clones. Petal explants from cacao clones TSH 565 and TSH 1188 were cultured on PCG and SCG-2 media, for calli growth. Somatic embryos were formed on the surface of embryogenic calli after transfer to embryo development (ED) medium. Clone TSH 565 showed a higher embryogenic potential than TSH 1188. The best combination of carbon source for embryo induction in ED medium was genotype-specific. Embryogenic callus formations increased in micropore tape-sealed Petri dishes, irrespective of cacao genotype. Mature somatic embryos were successfully converted into plantlets.  abiotechnology  agas exchange  amicropropagation  amorphogenesis  aBiotecnologia  aCação  aCacau  aMicropropagação  aMorfogênese  atroca gasosa1 aCIDADE, L.
