| Abstract | N 6 -Benzyladenine (BA; 0.04–4 mM) application to germinated Quercus suber somatic embryos considerably increased caulinar apex elongation frequency and maintained active growth in the plantlets, although it did not have a significant effect on the percentage of shoots with normal morphology. The addition of 0.5 mM indoleacetic acid together with the cytokinin did not have any effect. The use of a low concentration (0.04mM) of BA allowed the appropriate radicle elongation in all germinating somatic embryos, but higher concentrations arrested this elongation. |
