All the experiments were performed on a basal medium comprising WPM supplemented with 2% sucrose and 500 mg activated charcoal (AC). The woody plant medium (WPM) was formulated by Lloyd and McCown (1980). In order to ascertain the effect of growth regulators, the basal medium used was at various concentrations and combinations of auxins and cytokinins. The pH of the medium was adjusted to 5.6 before autoclaving at 121oC for 15 min. All the cultures were kept at 16 h photoperiod in temperature of 25 + 1oC and at relative humidity of 55-60%. After organogenesis the shoots were kept in rooting media for rooting. Rooting media consisted of basal medium alone and in different combinations and concentrations of NAA (0.05, 0.01, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg.L-1).
