Abstract A reliable procedure for multiple-shoot induction and plantlet regeneration was developed with apical buds collected from 7- to 8-year-old trees of Ficus carica L. using Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine and 0.2 mg/l 1-naphthaleneacetic acid. The in-vitro-regenerated shoots were further multiplied on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine and 0.2 mg/l 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and an average multiplication rate of four per subculture was established with 90% success. Excised shoots were rooted in liquid half strength MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid and 0.2% activated charcoal. Regenerated plantlets were successfully established in soil, with a success rate of 68%.
