β¦ Synopsis
Shoots of 6 ornamental species and cultivars of Rosaceae were repeatedly subcultured in vitro for 9 generations on Linsmaier and Skoog (1965) medium with the addition of BA. Shoot proliferation increased over the first few generations and then gradually declined in all species and at all BA concentrations tested with the exception of Chaenomeles/aponiea in which a decline in shoot formation occurred only at 5.0 mg 1-1 BA. A decrease in shoot length and leaf size and an increase in the ineidenc~ of callus formation was observed after several subcultures. This apparently irreversible decline could be due to either genetic or epigenetic change resulting from repeated fluxes in cytokinin, nutrient status or sucrose, or to elimination of seasonal environmental fluctuations.

An efficient protocol has been developed for the in vitro propagation of Bambusa tulda through shoot proliferation. Shoots from 3-week-old aseptically grown seedlings were used to initiate cultures. Multiple shoots were obtained on liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzylami
The in vitro shoot proliferation ofPopulus alba XP. grandidentata was affected by the medium consistency and shoot density, but not by three sizes of vessels. After 4 weeks of culture, the fresh weight and number of shoots per explant on liquid medium were significantly greater than those on agar-so
A procedure is described to regenerate shoots and bulbs in vitro with high frequency from shoot tips of garlic and shallot plants using benzyladenine or thidiazuron. Regenerated shoots were induced to form bulbs in Murashige and Skoog medium (1962) containing 5 g 1-1 activated charcoal and 120 g 1-1
