Rapid in vitro multiplication of shoots has been described using capitular sections and leaf explants in Gerbera jamesonii. Three types of basal media regimes were used including MS and two of its modified forms⎯MSI and MSA. Shoot induction was achieved on all three regimes but MSI medium supplemented with Kn (4 mg/l) and IAA (0.5 mg/l) was ideal for shoot bud initiation (8-11) from capitular s...
