Abstract

Shoots have been produced in the explants from flower head receptacles cultured on BDS medium with BAP and/or NAA. The shoots produced could be regenerated to form the whole plants and transplanted into soil. No morphological or cytological variations were observed in mature plants. The histological analysis of adventive bud formation is presented. The importance of this method for clonal propagation ofAllium porrum plants is discussed.
