Clonal propagation of Coffea canephora varieties is feasible through somatic embryogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the induction of somatic embryos from leaves of C. canephora, Robusta and Conilon varieties, in relation to different concentrations of three growth regulators. The explants were inoculated in a MS culture medium with 2iP (isopentanyladenine), IBA (indolebutyric acid) and BA (6-benzylaminopurine), in factorial combinations, at concentrations of 1.0; 2.0; 3.0; 4.0 and 5.0 mg L-1.
