Abstract

Nodal explants collected from a 23-year-old Candidate Plus Tree of Eucalyptus tereticornis were cultured on MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium. Cultures established on 1.0 mg/1 BAP + 0.1 mg/1 NAA and transferred to 1.0 mg/1 BAP + 1.0 mg/1 NAA gave maximum multiplication of shoots followed by regular sub culturing in 1.0 mg/1 BAP. Rosette clumps of buds after giving them a short duration treatment (15 days) of 1.0 mg/1 BAP + 0.04 mg/1 GA3 showed better elongation on ½ MS without using plant growth regulators. Best rooting was observed in 0.5 mg/1 IBA. Successful field transfer of this CPT was achieved. Owing to its high multiplication rate it is possible to produce 60,000 plantlets in a year from a single nodal explants.
