ABSTRACT: Adventitious
budding from embryonic cotyledons of immature seeds of carob was obtained. The
combination of BAP (4.44 μM) and NAA (1.5 μM) furthered the neoformation of
adventitious buds. These latter were multiplied on MS medium added with BAP
(2.22 μM). Stems and leaves growing were improved by adding 2.02 μM GA3.
Elongation was favored by 0.5 μM NAA. 70% of rooting was obtained with 10 μM
IBA.
