The purpose of this research is micropropagation of Ginkgo biloba L. Apical and nodal meristems removed from plantlets or apical buds from a tree were used as explants. Meristems produced an extensive callus and single or rare multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog medium with different growth regulators and endosperm extract (En) obtained from mature seeds of the same species. For successful root production it was necessary to transfer the shoots to a rooting medium with En.

Keywords: endosperm extract; growth regulators; micropropagation
Subjects: auxins; barley, soil flooding; cytokinins; endosperm; germination; Ginkgo biloba; Hordeum vulgare; in vitro culture, from shoot-tip, bud; in vitro culture, micropropagation; medicinal plants; nutrient medium, Murashige and Skoog; polypeptide patterns; protein patterns, soil flooding; ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase; soil flooding, polypeptide patterns
