Summary Production of the virus free lines by the shoot apex culture and the vegetative propagation of the line obtained in some cultivars of the Chinese yam (Dioscorea sp.) were studied. Shoot apices cultured on MS medium containing 0.01 mg/l both of NAA and BA showed shoot and root growth. The best results were obtained when explants were cultured on the basal medium containing 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.01 mg/l BA. For the stem explants, 2.4% of them formed adventitious buds, and 9.6% regenerated root.
