Abstract Kiwifruit ( Actinidia chinensis Planch, cv. Hayward) shoot tip cultures were stored in the dark successfully at 8°C. After a year, their fresh weight had increased 8-fold and they produced more shoot tips than at the start of storage. Storage was less successful at 4°. Chemical names used: 1 H -indole-3-butanoic acid (IBA), N 6 -benzyla-minopurine (BAP).
