Calli derived from leaf and capitulum, and capitulum of chrysanthemum 'Monami', 'Pink Flame', 'Little Pin Pon' and 'Red Windmill' were cultured on a solified medium. There explants were irradiated 4 Gy γ-ray for 1, 2 or 3 times, respectively. The proliferation rate of adventitious shoots from the capitulum explants of 'Monami' and 'Pink Flame' capitulum was higher than that of other explants. In addition, shoots only regenerated from 'Little Pin Pon' capitulum explants. The regenerated shoots from explants irradiated 4 Gy γ-ray twice were fewer than that from explants irradiated once or three times. The mutants from three cultivars with white flowers were found. The 'Red Windmill' regeneration of suspension cells irradiated was very slow. Suspension cells after haven irradiated 4 Gy γ-ray twice proliferated 24 adventitious shoots after 35 weeks. The mutants with different inflorescence arrangement were found in the regenerated plants from suspension cells.
