Abstract
Rapid clonal multiplication of Cephalotus follicularis Labill. was achieved on 1/2 strength Linsmaier-Skoog medium with 30 g/liter sucrose and 8 g/liter agar. Shoot tip cultures were started on a medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/iiter indolebutyric acid (IBA) and 1.0 mg/liter benzyl adenine (BA), which best stimulated growth, and kept in darkness the first 6 weeks. After 2 more months in constant light they were subcultured to a medium with 0.1 mg/liter naphtahaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.1 mg/liter BA that induced rapid proliferation. A 5-10 fold increase in plant material was achieved after each subculture.Keywords
