Abstract
Explants of actively growing shoot tips from greenhouse-grown plants of ‘Vesper’ lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.) initiated new shoots in 2–4 weeks on a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) revised medium plus 0.1 mg/liter 6-benzylamino purine (BA) and either 0.125, 0.25, or 0.5 mg/liter indoleacetic acid (IAA). These shoots were transferred for multiplication to the same medium but with 7.5 mg/liter BA and 0.1 mg/liter β-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). In 5–6 weeks about 6 shoots, 12–15 mm in length, had been produced per explant. There was no increase in the number of shoots by placing them in either a horizontal or inverted position compared to upright. Although excised shoots would root in vitro, rooting was more successful in vermiculite in a plastic-covered flat.
