Adventitious shoot regeneration from root, hypocotyl, cotyledon and primary leaf explants of Carthamus tinctorius was studied. Shoot regeneration was promoted by benzyladenine (BA) + naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), BA + indole-3-butyric acid, kinetin + NAA and thidiazuron (TDZ) + NAA incorporated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. High frequency of shoot regeneration and high number of shoots per regenerating explant were obtained on a wide range of TDZ + NAA combinations. Proliferated shoots were elongated in MS + 0.5 mg/cubic dm kinetin and well-developed shoots were rooted in half strength MS + 0.5 mg/cubic dm NAA. Rooted shoots were successfully acclimatized and established in soil.
