5. Conclusions
This study established a rapid and efficient protocol for tea
clone Iran 100 by combining both cytokinin for multipli-
cation and GA3 for elongation. TDZ was not suitable for
multiplication of this clone as it resulted in hyperhydricity
and stimulated callus formation at high concentrations but
BAP was found to be suitable and efficient on multiplication
of shoot. One of the most important outcome from this
experiment is that the combination of BAP and GA3 was
able to provide multiplication and elongation of shoots at
the same time thus reducing time and cost of production.
These findings can be helpful in commercial production of
the micropropagated plantlets in other plant species.
