The growth of kiwifruit explants was affected by boron and methionine in the culture medium. The longest shoots, the greatest number of shoots and the highest amount of fresh mass per explant were produced in Murashige and Skoog medium with 2 mM B and 2 microM methionine. Furthermore, by increasing B concentration in the culture medium from 0 to 2 mM, an increased rate of shoot proliferation was observed for the various methionine concentrations employed.
