Multiple shoots were induced through both axillary bud formation and adventitious shoot regeneration from leaf explants. The explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (BA), thidiazuron (TDZ) and/or alpha-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The success of regeneration varied for different species and depended on the type and concentration of plant growth regulators. Regenerated shoots spontaneously developed roots within 6 weeks on MS hormone-free medium. The rooted shoots were transferred to the greenhouse with a 100% success rate. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis indicated that there were no changes in ploidy level of those regenerated shoots as compared with wild type adult plants.
