Summary:Shoot tips isolated from the juvenile shoots of jack (Artocarpus heterophyllus) cultured on MS basal medium containing an auxin and a cytokinin resulted in multiple shoot induction through stimulation of axillary buds. The shoctlets grew only as shoots in culture. Rooting of isolated shootlets occurred rarely. This method, if copious rooting could be induced on a large scale, points to the possibility of clonal propagation supplementing the conventional methods.
