Abstract
In vitro propagation of perennial pea (Lathyrus latifolius L.) was achieved by subculturing shoot-section with nodes on Murashige and Skoog (MS) based medium with 0.44 μM N6-benzylaminopurine (BA) . A proliferation rate of 2.5 per 18 days was achieved. Shoots elongated from these in vitro-cultured nodes could be rooted on the medium with 0 or 0.49 μM 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA) . Plantlets produced were readily acclimatized on the soil.
