Abstract
The influence of gelling agent, macronutrients, and closure of the tes t tubes on micropropagation of Pelargonium domesticum was tested. Diff erent gelling agents (agar/gelrite) influenced regeneration and vitrif ication of shoots. Shoot formation on leaf explants was achieved only on MS-medium, whereas node explants formed shoots on all media (MS, B5 , KNOP) tested. The use of cotton plugs reduced vitrification of shoot s and increased percentage of acclimatized plantlets.
