✦ Synopsis

Production of bulblets of Muscari armeniacum through tissue culture is enhanced when I g/1 activated charcoal is added to a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Bulblet regeneration is direct from bulb scale explants with no intermediate callus growth. Bulblets can be transferred successfully to a greenhouse environment directly from aseptic culture.
