Shoot tips, fragments of cotyledons and hypocotyls were excised from 10-day-old sedlings and were used as initial explants. They were cultured on different variants of MS medium, containing BAP, kinetin, zeatin, and 2iP in combination with NAA for induction of shoots. The highest, frequency (100%) of axillary shoot proliferation was observed on shoot tips. BAP was the most effective cytokinin in axillary and adventitious shoot proliferation. An average of 15.1 shoots per explant were obtained on medium with 4.4 µM BAP in combination with 0.54 µM NAA, and the multiplication rate increased in four subsequent subcultures. The presence of BAP in the medium inhibited the elongation of shoots. The optimal effectiveness of rooting was observed when shoots were cultured on inductive MS medium containing half-strength nutrients and 5.4 μM NAA or 4.9 μM IBA for 2 weeks and then transferred to expressive medium (without auxin) for 4 weeks.
