Abstract
Multiple shoots differentiated from hypocotyl explants of Sesbania bispinosa (Jacq.) W.F. Wight, a leguminous woody shrub, when cultured on Gamborg's basal medium alone or in combination with 6-benzyl aminopurine (10−7–10−4 M). For cotyledonary explants 6-benzyl aminopurine (10−6–10−4 M) was necessary. The shoots rooted when cultured on Gamborg's basal medium containing indole-3-butyric acid (10-5 M). Plantlets thus formed were transferred to soil where they have flowered and also set fruits.
