| Abstract: | Temperatures from 13°C to 30°C had no significant effect on the formation of shoots on root segments of Rubus procerus P. J. Muell. Shoots were not produced at 8°C. Some new roots were produced on root segments at all temperatures between 8°C and 30°C, although significantly more (P= 0·05) roots were produced at 26°C. The polarity of the root system was maintained in root segments. More shoots were formed towards the basal end, i.e. nearest the crown, and more roots towards the apical end of the root segments. |
