Thidiazuron （TDZ） ― induced in vitro propagation from epicotyls of castor （Ricinus communis L.） 　　Abstract. An efficient and producible regeneration protocol for in vitro propagation of castor through epicotyls from mature castor seeds was developed. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog （MS） medium supplemented with various concentration of TDZ； the best shoot buds induction （83.62%）were observed when epicotyls were planted on MS medium supplemented with 0.15mg/L TDZ； However 0.1mg/L TDZ with 0.15 mg/L BA proved to be optimal for shoots further elongation. The rooting and transplanti
