Abstract
A technique for the micropropagation of Passiflora edulis from seedling explants is described. A multiplication rate of 4.5 per month can be achieved in an Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2 % sucrose and 2 mg l−1 BAP. Using this technique, no callus is produced. Problems of chlorosis and a method for avoiding subsequent death after prolonged culture are discussed.Keywords
