✦ Synopsis

In vitro propagation protocols were established for two leguminous trees, Bauhinia variegata and Parkinsonia aculeata. In each case axillary shoot proliferation was achieved from nodal explants from mature (6-8 years) trees using Murashige & Skoog's medium supplemented with 2.22-31.1 IxM of 6-benzyladenine. Subsequent rooting of the regenerated shoots was achieved on medium containing 2.46-14.8 ixM of indole-3-butyric acid. Successful transfer of the regenerants to soil has been accomplished.
