| Abstract: | Resting vegetative buds of Norway spruce, Picea abies (L.) Karst., were induced to form adventitious bud primordia when cultured on medium -containing cytokinin. After transfer of the induced buds to medium lacking cytokinin, adventitious buds developed. The adventitious buds arose from meristems formed de novo in the needle primordia. No differences were found in the ability to form adventitious buds among buds collected from trees ranging from 5–50 years old. |
