After 90 days of in vitro culture, multiple shoots with 13.3 mm diameter with 12.5 leaves over 6 mm in diameter and with 4-5 buds, were efficiently obtained from the subcultured small propagules on variant V2 - mineral basic medium culture MB - MS supplemented with 1.5 mg / l thidiazuron. Callus induction was favored only on experimental variant V3 - mineral basic medium culture MB - MS supplemented with a mix of 1.5 mg / l 3-Indolebutyric acid plus 1.5 mg / l thidiazuron, with highest diameter of callus of 9 mm. %K Begonia semperflorens %K subcultivation %K cytokine %K auxine %K micropropagation %U http://www.bioresearch.ro/bioresearch/2011-1/077-080-AUOFB.18.1.2011%20-%20ROMOCEA%20J%20-%20U.O.St.Biol.Ro.%20-%20Reaction%20of%20Begonia.pdf
