✦ Synopsis

Micropropagation of Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl has been successfully achieved both from mature and juvenile plant material using shoot tip and nodal explants. Several basal media supplemented with benzyladenine (BA) and indolebutyric acid (IBA) were tested for shoot proliferation. The most new explants per mature explant (5.3) was obtained on DKW medium plus 4.4 taM BA + 0.98 i.dVl IBA. The most new explants per juvenile explant (5.6) was produced on QL medium plus 8.9 taM BA + 0.49 taM IBA. Rooting was achieved on WPM supplemented with 0.98-4.9 taM IBA. Rooted plantlets were transferred to soil and acclimatized with 85% survival.
