Abstract
Eucalyptus genus is one of the fast growing trees and adapted to climate conditions of Iran, and it has a special role in agro-forestry, industrial and medical consumptions. E. maculata is the most important species among eucalyptuses from some chemistry components and medical applications point of view.
Asexual propagation by conventional methods has many problems and sexual propagation is not suitable because the species is a cross-pollinated plant and wide range of genetic variability exists in nature.
Compared with the conventional method of tissue culture, woody plant propagatin by the new method of tissue culture (photoautotrophic conditions), has many advantages.
This investigation was carried out to determine the best method of mass propagation for E. maculata, using photoautotrophic method and conventional micropropagation.
