Briggs[3] reported a similar observation whereby shoots of deciduous azalea were compact and hyperhydrous on a medium containing 45 M TDZ. Moreover,adding TDZ and CPPU to the medium caused formation of hyperhydric explants at high percentages in vitro pear cultivar shoots [12]. Although the addition of Zeatin to TDZ containing media improved shoot quality,increasing the Zeatin concentration from 0.5 to 0.1 mg/l resulted in a significant decrease in the number of proliferating shoots. Similar observation have been reported by Hsia and Korban [8]. However they resulted Zeatin enhanced the shoot length of proliferating shoots, but did not increase shoot multiplication
