BAP was found to be better for axillary bud proliferation and growth than the other cytokinines. Proliferation of buds improved with successive subcultures. A multiplication rate of 30 + 2 shoots per explant was obtained with threee subcultures in 165 daysAgricultureRubberCulture techniquesShoot tip culture as a method of micropropagation of HeveaArticle
