Abstract
INITIATION of organs on cultured callus tissue has been reported for herbaceous species1,2, but similar reports for woody species have been meagre, and the results sporadic. The control of root rather than shoot initiation has been emphasized3–5. I describe here conditions which control either root or shoot formation in callus cultures of Populus tremuloides Michx.
