History
Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau investigated wound-healing responses in elm trees, and was the first to report formation of callus tissue on live plants.
In 1908, E. F. Simon was able to induce callus from poplar stems that also produced roots and buds. The first reports of callus induction in vitro came from three independent researchers in 1939. P. White induced callus derived from tumor-developing procambial tissues of hybrid Nicotiana glauca that did not require hormone supplementation. Gautheret and Nobecourt were able to maintain callus cultures of carrot using auxin hormone additions.
