Abstract
A 50-fold increase in Fuchsia hybrida cv. Swingtime was obtained every 4 weeks on B5 medium with either N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or N6-(Δ2-isopentenyl)adenine (2iP). The shoot tips were established and grown on B5 agar for 2 weeks and then proliferated for 4 weeks on B5 liquid medium with BAP or 2iP. The dose-response relationship for both compounds was expressed by a quadratic curve and on the average the rate of proliferation was greatest with BAP at a concentration of 3 mg/L(1.3 × 10−5 M). The proliferated shoots elongated when the cytokinin was eliminated and rooted readily on B5 medium solidified with agar.Keywords
