Abstract
Multiple shoot cultures were obtained from elongating axillary buds of Gerbera aurantiaca Sch. on the medium of Murashige & Skoog (MS) supplemented with 5 μM benzyladenine. Shoots rooted in vitro on MS medium supplemented with 5 to 10 μM indolebutyric acid or 5 to 10 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid. Plantlets were hardened in a mist bed and transferred to soil.
