4. Discussion
According to the literature, BA is the most commonly used cytokinin in the micropropagation of bamboo, alone or combined with kinetin or auxin [1,12] suggested a protocol for the micropropagation of B. vulgaris using a basal MS static liquid culture medium supplemented with BA and TDZ. In this protocol, a mean of 3.8 NS per explant was produced in 10 weeks after subculture onto an elongation medium. [22] reported that the placement of the explants in MS medium supplemented with BA (20 μM) alone or with NAA (3.0 μM) resulted in the maximum number of shoots, at 32.39 shoots/explant, respectively.
