Abstract

Abstract Growing points from cloves of Allium sativum L. were excised from mature air-dried corms and cultured in vitro . Media for vegetative increase of tissues in the undifferentiated form should contain (2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 6-(furfurylamino) purine (kinetin), and coconut milk. The vegetative tissues differentiate on Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with IAA and kinetin.
