Summary

Abscisic acid (ABA) in combination with kinetin substantially enhanced the growth of callus obtained from inflorescence segments ofHaworthia cultured in vitro. This enhancement was noticed when relatively low concentration of these growth regulators were included in the medium. Neither compound was as effective when used alone. Synergistic effect of ABA and kinetin on the in vitro growth of a monocotyledonous tissue is reported.
