Abstract
Shoot induction frequency for the leguminous tree Swartzia madagascari ensis Desv. was higher on MS and WP media than on B5. Explants incubat ed on media solidified with agar produced more shoots with a lower ten dency to hyperhydricity than explants on agarose or Gelrite media. Max imum shoot induction was obtained with an agar-solidified MS medium co ntaining 2.2 mu M benzyladenine (37 shoots/explant). Shoots rooted aft er transfer to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 26.8 mu M nap hthaleneacetic acid.
