The best multiplication media was full strength liquid MS media supplemented with 1 mglL BAP + 1 mg/L IBA .In rooting stage , shootlet were cultured on media containing 0.5 x strength MS salts , 3 mgIL activated charcoal and combinations of IBA at (0 • 0.2 • 0.5 , 1.0 , 2.0 mgIL) and NAA at (0 • 0.2 , 0.5 , 1.0 mg/L) , the rooted shootlets were obtained by culturing on MS media supplemented with 1 mgIL NAA + 0.5 mg/L IBA UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2004/MUJAS/2904/1/371.pdf ER -
