[ Objective] Peanut in vitro regeneration system was optimized to provide technical support for its genetic transformation and mutagenesis. [ Method ] The effect of gibberellin, light and genotype on somatic embryogenesis and plantiet regeneration of peanut was studied using Guihua peanut cuhivar as materials, leallets as explants, MS ＋ 10 mg/L 2, 4-D as somatic embryo induction medium, and MS ＋3 mg/L 6-BA ＋0. 8 mg/L NAA ＋ （0 - 15 mg/L） GA3 as plantlet induction me- dium. [Result]The somatic embryo induction rate of five peanut varieties under light condition of light： dark = 14 h： 10 h was significantly higher compared with that under dark condition by 7, 5 - 37.5 percent points. Among different peanut varieties, Guihua 26 represented the highest somatic embryo induction rate of 62. 8%, while Guihua 833 represented the lowest somatic embryo induction rate of 21.7%. Adding 5 - 15 mg/LGA3 in plantlet induction medium was conducive to improving the induction rate of plandets derived from somatic embryos. With addition of 5 mg/L GA3, Guihua 26 and Guihna 771 represented the highest plantlet induction rate of 42.8% and 35.3%, respectively; with addition of 15 mg/L GA3, Guihua 836, Guihua 1026 and Guihna 833 represented the highest plantlet in- duction rate of 38.7%, 33.3% and 26.4L%, respectively. Among different combinations of peanut variety and GA3 concentration, plantlet induction rate reached the highest in the combination Guihua 26 ＋ 5 mg/L CA.3 arid reached the lowest in the combination Guihua 836 ＋ 15 mg/L GA3. [ Conclusion] Appropriate light conditions are conducive to peanut somatic embryogenesis in vitro. Adding GA3 in plantlet induction medium is conducive to promoting plantlet regeneration. Guihua 26 and Guihua 836 are the best peanut varieties among the experimental genotypes for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration.
