    White or light purple flower color
    Torenia
    (
    Torenia fournieri
    Lind.) varieties were successfully developed from the parental variety having violet flowers. This was accomplished by reducing Fe micronutrient in the culture media for the induction of in vitro flowering. The flower induction was highest in modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing � strength of macroelements, microelements, organic additives, and full Fe (M1) when compared to MS medium containing � strength of macronutrients, micronutrients, full Fe, and full organic additives (M2). The flower color was stable in two new
    Torenia
    varieties through three generations ex vitro. The results showed a wide range of somaclonal variation in flower colors; early flowering occurred in MS medium containing � strength of macroelements, microelements, Fe, and full strength of organic additives (M3). The selection of desirable somaclones and their micropropagation in subsequent generations led to the development of new and stable
    Torenia
    lines.
