Abstract

Shoot multiplication and root formation was induced in vitro from mature shoot explants of the woody ornamental plant species Dampiera diversifolia and Prostanthera rotundifolia. 0.5 μM BAP+0.5 μM kinetin in the absence of auxins gave the most prolific shoot multiplication in both species but there were qualitative and quantitative differences between species in rooting responses to auxin applications. A high percentage of rooted plants were successfully grown-on in pot culture.
