Abstract
Shoot tips established in vitro better than single nodes. Five-cm shoot tips gave better Stage I results than 2-cm shoot tips. The best microshoot proliferation rates were obtained with isopentenyladenine (2iP) at 5 and 10 mg l−1; tetrahydropyranyl-benzyladenine was ineffective. Microshoots rooted well, regardless of the level of 2iP in the Stage II medium. Stem-cutting-macropropagated plants generally were more variable in height, had less basal branching and were more erect than plants from microculture.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
