Abstract
Branch internodes ofMurraya paniculata flowered in vitro on half-strength MT medium containing 5% sucrose supplemented with cytokinins. The cytokinins only induced vegetative shoots from the epicotyl of seedlings. The highest percentage of flowering (76.7% of the explants) was achieved from branch internodes of flowering plants close to the apex, on half-strength MT medium containing 5% sucrose and 0.001 mg l1 benzyladenine (BA) in light. Flowering required two days' exposure to BA, but shoot formation could be initiated even without exposure to BA.
