Abstract

The in vitro regeneration from cork oak axillary buds was investigated. Different macronutrient formulas supplemented with MS micronutrients, vitamins and 3% sucrose were tested on shoot multiplication and rooting phases. The WPM macronutrients improved caulogenesis and shoot multiplication. Rooting was achieved on WPM 1/2 macronutrients. Dipping the base of the shoots in an IBA concentrated solution improved the rooting phase. 92% of the rooted plants were successfully potted on horticultural substrate with a high relative humidity.
