Abstract:Mature yellow cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach) embroys were exposed to a range of N6-benzyladenine concentrations in a variety of culture media generally used for conifer caulogenesis. All seven media supported the induction of adventitious shoots but Schenk & Hildebrandt medium was the best. The best cytokinin level of N6-benzyladenine was 0.35 mg 1-1. This resulted in an average of 4–5 large adventitious shoots per explant. Shoots arose primarily from the cotyledons regardless of whether they were in contact with the medium or not. Embryos from seeds stratified four weeks at 21°C and eight weeks at 5°C were more caulogenic than unstratified controls. An additional four weeks at 5°C caused a change in the pattern of shoot induction in that shoots arose from the hypocotyl as well as the cotyledons. Shoots elongated on basal Schenk & Hildebrandt medium. The best rooting response was obtained under non-sterile greenhouse conditions where approximately 60% of the shoots formed roots. Over a 12-month period the average shoot height ranged between 10–13.9 cm with a stem diameter of 2.29–2.68 mm. These propagules are still being grown under forest nursery conditions.
