Abstract

In vitro shoot multiplication has been obtained from 7-10 day old seedlings of Eucalyptus tereticornis. The whole plantlet developed within 8 weeks on Murashige and Skoog’s basal medium supplemented with BAP + NAA (0.5 + 0.5 mg/l). Rooting was best in ½ strength MS liquid medium supplemented with IAA + IBA + NAA each at 0.5 mg/l in dark.
