To induce multiple shoots from habanero pepper (Capsicum chinenseJacq.), nodes and
stem segments were cultivated in MS medium supplemented with varying concentrations of
kinetin, benzyladenine, and thidiazuron. The effect of the age of the explant in the medium
on shoot formation and their latter development into plants was assessed. Ethylene
concentration was measured along the experiments. Thidiazuron was the key growth
regulator in the process, which at 3.4 µM induced seven to eight shoots that developed into …
