Abstract: Shoot tip culture of Ficus benjamina L. `Variegata' produced multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 1 μ m 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), 1 μ m napthalene acetic acid (NAA), 1 μ m benzylaminopurine (BAP), l -proline at 2 mg·liter –1 , and l -glutamine at 1 mg·liter –1 without previously producing callus. Multiple shoots were more profuse on one-half MS medium with 4.44 μ m BAP. Single shoot of multiple shoots produced roots on one-half MS medium with NAA at 2.69 μ m . Leaf culture of the plant produced profuse calli on same media without plant regeneration. Calli subcultured on one-half MS or MS media with 1.7 μ m indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 150 μ m 6-(y,y-dimethylallylamino)-purine (2iP) did not induce plant regeneration.
