heal.abstract	Proliferating shoot cultures were established from shoot tips excised from seedlings grown in a growth chamber and cultured on Rugini olive medium (OM) supplemented with benzyladenine (BA). Maximum proliferation was achieved with 2 mg l-1 BA. Blackening of the medium and shoot-tip necrosis did not occur in the cultures. Shoot explants were easily rooted in vitro using OM with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 0.5 and 1 mg l-1 for both auxins. Rooted shoots were readily established in peat-based compost. © 1990.	en
