Abstract
A protocol for the micropropagation of Wikstroemia uva-ursi A. Gray (' Akia) was developed by the establishment of axenic shoot cultures from field-grown plants, induction of shoot proliferation, and rooting in vitro. The best shoot proliferation was obtained from the distal half of stem explants in 8.8 mu M 6-benzyladenine. High frequencies of root ing were obtained. The best rooting occurred for shoots grown in half- strength MS plus 2.46 mu M indole-3-butyric acid for two weeks.
