Multiple shoots were induced through axillary bud formation. The highest fre- quency of multiple shoot induction was achieved when the nodal segment explants were incubated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.44 pM 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) in combination with 0.54 μM a-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), followed by treatment with 4.44 μM 6-BA in combination with 0.27 μM NAA. Shoot multiplication could be induced in MS medium supplemented with stand-alone 6-BA or 6-BA in combination with indole-3-acetic acid (1.71 μM) or NAA (0.27 or 0.54 μM), with 6-BA and either compound, exhibiting a stronger effect on shoot multiplication. The optimum combination of plant growth regulators for shoot multiplication was 4.44 μM 6-BA with 0.27 μM NAA. The maximum rooting percentage was obtained in a half-strength MS medium supplemented with indole-3-butyric acid alone and in com- bination with NAA and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, but the best combination of plant growth regulators for rooting was 1.48 μM indole-3-butyric acid with 1.08 μM NAA and 0.05 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The rooted shoots were trans- ferred to a greenhouse with a success rate of 100%.展开更多
