Abstract
Explants were excised from 3 different regions of active growing flora l stem of tulip, and were cultured in vitro on MS medium with growth r egulators. Adventitious bud formation was highest in the median region . Buds formed bulblets if a cold (5 degrees C) then a warm (20 degrees C) period were applied. Bulblet production was promoted by a 3 months cold treatment when compared to 1 or month treatment. Histological ob servations indicated that the neoformed bulblets appeared to be functi onal for further development in soil.
