Single node explants were successfully established on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0.44 muM of 6-benzyladenine. The highest multiplication rate (11.69 shoots/node) was obtained with 0.67 muM 6-benzyladenine in Murashige and Skoog medium with macronutrients at half-strength. Shoots were easily rooted on Gresshoff and Doy medium. Increasing sucrose concentration from 58.4 to 87.6 mM resulted in a significant increase in rooting frequency. Eighty per cent of plantlets were successfully acclimatised to ex vitro conditions, exhibiting a normal development.engjournal articlehttps://dx.doi.org/10.1023/A:1012963021126
