title: Shoot regeneration in root cultures of Solanaceae.
abstract: Root cultures from several species of the Solanaceae were initiated and subcultured on Murashige and Skoog medium without growth regulators. Direct shoot regeneration was observed in four different species. The effect of several concentrations of auxin (IAA) and cytokinins (BAP, zeatin) on the number of shoots generated by two highly responsive species (Nicotiana exigua, N. debneyi) is described.
