Abstract

The in vitro establishment and proliferation of some Persian walnut cultivars (J. regia L.),‘Chandler`, ‘Franquette` and ‘Jupânești` were analyzed by using three types of gelling agents andrespectively, three levels of the cytokinin concentration. A good establishment rate was obtained forthe ‘Jupânești` walnut cultivar on DKW culture medium gelled with Phytagel (2.1 g/L). During themultiplication stage, the Romanian ‘Jupânești` walnut cultivar responded very well on DKW culturemedium with 1 mg/L BAP, 2.1 g/L Phytagel and 3% sucrose.
