Shoot tips and lateral buds of Agarwood Trees (Aquilaria crassna) were used as explants to determine effects of various cytokinins (BA, 2iP, kinetin) on modified MS medium and Woody Plant Medium (WPM). The results, BA was more effective in promoting multiple shoot than did 2iP or kinetin. Multiple shoots were produced from shoot tips and lateral buds of Agarwood cultured on both media supplemented with BA 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/l. Rooting of shoots in vitro were obtained on WPM containing IBA or without auxins. The survival rate of plantlets were 90 percent after transplanting in nursery.
