description Abstract Background Piper hispidinervum is a species native from the Amazon region with great economic potential, given its scientifically proven insecticidal properties. In this study, an efficient protocol of plant regeneration via indirect somatic embryogenesis has been established for the first time. In a first experiment, for the induction of calluses, foliar explants of non-discriminated accesses of P. hispidinervum were inoculated in MS medium supplemented with α-naphtalenacetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), in different combinations. For a second experiment, foliar explants from five different accesses of P. hispidinervum (PH17, PH21, PH28, PH37, and PH39) were analyzed regarding the formation of calluses when cultivated in MS medium with 5 mg L−1 NAA + 2.5 mg L−1 BAP. To obtain somatic embryos-like structures, calluses were cultivated in MS medium with 10 mg L−1 NAA + 2.5 mg L−1 of BAP. The somatic embryos-like structures obtained were inoculated in MS medium devoid of growth regulators and the plantlets were subjected to acclimatization. Calluses and somatic embryos-like structures were subjected to anatomical analysis and genetic stability of regenerated plants was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The treatments 2.5 mg L−1 BAP and 5 mg L−1 NAA + 2.5 mg L−1 BAP, after 60 days of cultivation, provided each 32% of primary callus, not being verified the formation of calluses in medium devoid of BAP. It was found that accesses differed among them with respect to the formation of primary calluses, with emphasis on accesses PH28, PH37, and PH39, with mean percentage of 95.3%. Regarding the percentage of embryogenic calluses and formation of somatic embryos-like structures, there were no statistical differences between accesses, with mean values of 90.6% and 77.3%, respectively. The somatic embryos-like structures of P. hispidinervum have conspicuous morphoanatomical similarities with the zygotic embryo, and flow cytometry analysis showed no significant variation in nuclear DNA size among plants regenerated in vitro and plants coming from seed germination, which indicates ploidy level stability. Conclusion This protocol is the first cited in the literature that demonstrates an efficient micropropagation process by somatic embryogenesis of P. hispidinervum. It can be used either to enable large-scale vegetative production or to subsidize germplasm conservation or genetic engineering of P. hispidinervum.
