ABSTRACT = {The calla lily (<i>Zantedeschia</i> spreng.) is a bulbous flower native to the tropical regions of Africa. Calla lily has
gained significant popularity in the international market owing to its intricate morphology and prolonged flowering duration. Despite such advantages, for two sub-groups of calla lily, known as group <i>Zantedeschia</i> and group
<i>Aestivae</i>, there are challenges in terms of hybrid production due to the ‘plastome-genome incompatibility’ therebetween. Tissue culture is a fundamental biotechnological tool used in gene editing research, with a focus on disease resistance and flower color in calla lily breeding programs. The present review provides a brief background
on the history and development of the calla lily, as well as a comprehensive and critical summary of calla lily
tissue culture research. The regeneration pathways for both group <i>Zantedeschia</i> and group <i>Aestivae</i> can be divided
into <i>de novo</i> organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. Both groups are capable of obtaining replants through
such means. However, only some species in group <i>Aestivae</i> have been reported to be successful in the somatic
embryogenesis pathway. In the present review, special attention was paid to the influence of explant types, plant
growth regulators, and culture conditions on both <i>de novo</i> organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis in calla lily
tissue culture. Ultimately, future research prospects were determined based on integrated analysis of recent progress in calla lily tissue culture research.},
