In vitro regeneration of Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.)

Regenerants were produced from axillary buds, but not from petiole segments, greenwood cuttings and leaf discs. Petiole segments and greenwood cuttings responded by massive callus cell proliferation without adventitious shoot formation. The development of induced buds into shoots occurred on WPM medium containing kinetin. Vigorous shoots larger than 2.0 cm in length were successfully rooted in half strength WPM medium supplemented with 1.0 mg dm-3 indole-3-butyric acid.
