ABSTRACT. A shoot tip culture procedure has been developed for the rapid multiplication of Croton sublyratus Kurz, a tropical plant species cultivated in Thailand for the production of an anti-ulcer medicine, plaunotol. Optimum conditions were established: (1) for the regeneration of shoots from shoot tips: (2) for axillary shoot formation and rooting and (3) for adaptation of regenerated plants to the open ground. The results demonstrate the feasibility of applying the shoot tip culture technique for enhancing production of plaunotol by cultivating uniform populations of C. sublyratus with higher plaunotol levels.
