Micropropagation generally involves four
distinct stages namely; initiation of cultures, shoot
multiplication, rooting of in vitro grown shoots, and
acclimatization. The first stage, culture initiation
(Plates 5 and 8) depends on explants type or the
physiological stage of the donor plant at the time of
excision. In this stage, the innermost tissue of surface
sterilized plant material was aseptically dissected and
put directly into a growth medium.
