Hence, the present study aimed to develop a rapid production technology by using <em>in vitro</em> culture to produce plants with high health value, throughout year and in desired quantities. A micropropagation protocol for growing <em>L. chinense </em>‘No 1’ and ‘New Big’ cultivars was developed. The explants were grown on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of <em>meta</em>-Topolin (0.4-0.8 mg L<sup>-1</sup>), and WPM and RA without plant hormones. Among the tested combinations, the maximum regeneration rate (95-97%) with the mean shoot length of 3.53-4.12 cm and mean shoot number of 1.42–1.58 (‘No 1’ and ‘New Big’, respectively) was recorded for plants grown on MS with 0.6 mg L<sup>-1</sup> <em>m</em>T and WPM. For <em>in vitro</em> rooting, healthy roots (4.71-4.91 cm) were obtained on MS with the addition of 20 ppm chitosan. A maximum of 70–80% plantlets (‘No 1’ and ‘New Big’, respectively) regenerated on the medium with chitosan were successfully acclimatized and established in the mixture of 90% peat and 10% perlite under field conditions.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca}, author={KRUCZEK, Arleta and KRUPA-MAŁKIEWICZ, Marcelina and OCHMIAN, Ireneusz}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={12271} }
