Abstract: | Axillary buds of field plants of Cunila galioides Benth. were used to evaluate the effect of growth regulators and culture media on the in vitro shoot proliferation and growing. The highest multiplication rate was obtained using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 8.8 M of benzyladenine. Repeated subcultures of shoot tips and single nodes at 4-week intervals for eight months on the above medium enabled mass multiplication of shoots without any evidence of decline. The best conditions for rooting were MS medium plus 0.5 to 2.5 M of indolebutyric acid. The rooted plants were successfully transferred to soil, exhibiting a normal development. |
