ABSTRACT: Bulb scales of Lilium longiflorum `Easter lily' were cultured in vitro on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing various combinations and concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The MS medium supplemented with 15 {micro}M BA and 0.5 {micro}M NAA produced the largest numbers of multiple shoots (100%) after one month of culture. The MS medium containing 5 {micro}M indole-3-butyric acid was effective for induction of roots. When individual isolated leaves from regenerated shoots were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) and NAA, a yellow compact callus was obtained. The calluses differentiated into adventitious shoots and a high frequency of shoot organogenesis (70%) was found on MS medium containing 18 {micro}M 2,4-D with 14 shoots.
