Abstract
A process for the micropropagation of plant material. The process comprises excising a shoot tip having a length in the range 0.6 to 3 millimeters from a bud of the plant. The excised tip is placed in a first nutrient medium containing benzyl adenine to induce shoot elongation and the elongated shoot decapitated. The decapitated shoot is placed in a nutrient medium to stimulate lateral shoot induction and elongation. Shoots one centimeter or more are excised and the excised shoots are implanted in a rooting nutrient medium for root production.
