Two experiments of tissue culture of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) were conducted for obtaining a vast number of clones within a short period. Results showed that shoot tips and lateral bud tissues grew well and were able to form multiple shoots. Explants from internodes, however, did not. Number of shoots tended to be affected by explant and NAA. Shoot tip explants grow more rapidly than lateral buds. In the presence of 0.5 to mg/l kinetin, addition of NAA up to 0.5 mg/l increased the number of shoots formed. The development of callus was also influenced by NAA. Calli were not able to differentiate into shoots; they were, however, able to form root.
