Abstract
Abstract A large number of adventitious buds were induced on petiole explants of Begonia × hiemalis (Fotsch), but, after 9 weeks on agar culture, only a very few had grown large enough to be used in micropropagation trials. A period of liquid-shake culture increased bud growth. The optimum time to begin liquid culture was after 6 weeks on agar. This procedure increased the number of established plants significantly. Gibberellic acid in the liquid medium enhanced bud growth but these shoots did not root well and the establishment of multistemmed plants also was reduced.
