Hypocotylary explants obtained from 30- to 40-day-old slash pine (Pinus elliottii, Engelm.) seedlings treated with 6-benzylaminopurine produced multiple buds that eventually elongated into axillary shoots. The explants were pulse treated (45-s dip) with 6-benzylaminopurine (22.2, 111, 222 micromole) plus a control and cultured on three different basal media containing activated charcoal (0.5% w/v). Hormonal concentration and basal medium were compared for the number and size of axillary shoots induced after 12 and 29 days. The greatest number of axillary shoots was produced by explants that were pulse treated with 111 micromole 6-benzylaminopurine and cultured on Gresshoff and Doy medium. The axillary shoots were fewer in number per explant than shoots previously reported resulting from hormonally induced advantitious buds of slash pine, but the axillary shoots developed more rapidly.
