Immature embryos of <em>Pharbitis nil</em> Chois. were used for the study. They were isolated from previously sterilized fruits and afterwards transferred to Murashige and Skoog (MS) growth medium with 0.8% agar. Immature embryos were cut across their axis. After 6-8 weeks of cultivation in the injury place (hypocotyl-root region) somatic embryos were formed. These embryos were isolated and each of them was transferred into a separate tube containing MS supplemented with naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA; in concentration 0.1 mg•dm<sup>-3</sup> ) and gibberellic acid (GA<sub>3</sub>; in concentration 0.5 mg•dm<sup>-3</sup>). Under these conditions about 26% of somatic embryos regenerated into complete plants. Two-three weeks after the photoperiodic induction flowers appeared on these plants. A few weeks after pollination normal seeds were developed from these flowers.
