title: [Tissue culture and rapid propagation of Aloe arborescens].
abstract: Tissue culture and rapid propagation of Aloe arborescens have been studied. The main results are as follows: the optimum medium for cluster shoots induction is MS + 6-BA 3.0 mg/L + NAA 0.2 mg/L; for cluster shoots propagation is MS + 6-BA 2.0 mg/L + NAA 0.2 mg/L; for roots induction is 1/2 MS + NAA 0.5 mg/L. The survival rate of the tube plantlets is 100% in the transplanting. Cutting down the cost of medium in large scale of production have been studied also.
