More shoots were produced on explants cut from the basal region of cotyledons from 5-7 day old seedlings than from distal cut sites or older seedlings. Of the three tested media, MS was superior to SH and B5. Rooting of shoots was not efficient, 42% of the shoots rooted on MS medium containing sucrose (7%-8%) + IAA (indoleacetic acid, 0.5-1.0 mg/L).
