Abstract
A continuous propagation of juvenile larch in vitro was based on adven titious bud formation and different cytokinin combinations were tested concerning their effectiveness to induce elongation of adventitious b uds. Zeatin (1.5 mg dm(-3)) combined with kinetin (0.15 mg dm(-3)) was found to be the best. Development and elongation of buds was achieved on a modified LP-medium. Using this system it was possible to propaga te different larch species (Larix decidua, L. gmelinii and L. sukaczew ii f. multiramosus) continuously. Shoots were successfully rooted and transferred to the soil.
