(Honey-leaf) was initiated from axillary buds onto Ms Medium9 , supplemented with different concentration of BAP and KN in higly aseptic conditions. Shoot differentiated best from axillary shoot base callus on MS medium containing BAP (1Mgl-1) where maximum bud break (80%), number of leaves 5-6 and shoot length 2-3 cm. Were shown and in comparision with medium containing KN (1.5 mgl-1) maximum bud break (60%), number of leaves 3-4 and shoot length 1-2 cm were observed.
