Abstract

Shoots from the cvs Ballerina, Aurora, Rijnveld's Golden Yellow and Rose Marie, originating from excised flower-buds, were grown in vitro and were induced to form shoots on a modified Murashige and Skoog medium containing PBA and IAA. The greatest number of new shoots/excised shoot was obtained when the medium contained PBA at 5 mg/l and IAA at 0.1 mg/l. The number of shoots formed depended on the cv. tested. Subcultured shoots, grown on a medium with IAA but without PBA, could be rooted easily and viable plants were obtained. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
