Abstract

Explants from meristem tip and stem of sweet potato were placed in MURASHIGE & SKOOG medium containing (in mg/l) 0,1 of kinetin (kin) and 0,01 NAA (a); 1,0 kin and 0,1 NAA (b); 3,0 kin and 0,1 NAA (c) and 2,0 kin and 2,0 2,4-D (d). The followings results was obtided: (a) callus with weak aerial part growth; (b) callus with vigorous roots growth and (c-d) callus growth without morphogenesis.
