Abstract

SummaryEffects of various factors were studied on the in vitro multiplication and rooting of a clone of Camellia reticulata cv. Captain Rawes established in vitro from shoots of an adult tree. Multiplication rates were increased by repeated harvesting of cultures in which shoots were subcultured in a horizontal rather than a vertical position. Best rooting responses were obtained with 175.3 mM sucrose in the rooting medium using 8 week old shoots cultured in 500 ml glass jars; these shoots contained more anthocyanin than those from test-tube cultures. The orientation and repeated harvesting of the mother shoots had no effect on rooting response.
