✦ Synopsis

Mature trees of European grey alder (Alnus incana) were micropropagated on a modified MS medium containing 2.5/~M BA, 6.2mM (500mgl -~) NH4NO 3 and 1.5% glucose. Prior to in vitro culture, mature scions were multiplied through grafting and cutting techniques. Shoot tips from cuttings were established in vitro. After six months of culture, shoots were rooted either in vitro or in vivo and plantlets were transferred to greenhouse conditions.
