Abstract
In vitro shoots without roots from different media compositions were selected and transferred into test tubes supplemented with MS medium without hormone for root induction.
After 4 weeks, full grown plantlets were transferred to sterile soil for acclimatization process.
The plantlets were maintained in the culture room at 25±1°C with 16 hours light and 8 hours dark.
Plantlets were then planted in pots and covered with polystyrene plastic bags.
They grew well and after 4 weeks in the culture room, well grown and healthy plantlets were transferred to the greenhouse.
Survival rate of the acclimatized plantlets was 70% and from observation it showed that most of the plantlets successfully survived after transferred to the greenhouse.
