<i>In vitro</i> regeneration of some leguminous multipurpose trees from seedling explants
Abstract
Under in vitro conditions, MS-nutrients in combination with BAP or TDZ, induce formation of new shoots in intact and decapitated embryonic axes of 7-day old Leucaena leucocephala, Acacia caven and A. visco seedlings. Shoot formation occurred after 11 and within 21 days in culture; responses depended on species, explant condition and growth regulators. In subculture, single shoots of L. leucocephala and A. visco formed roots (in presence of NAA or IBA) and plantlets (after a second transfer using the same growth medium but without regulators).
