The effect of BAP (Benzylamino purine) and Kin (Kinetin) (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/l) in combination with IBA (Indole-3-acetic acid) (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/l) using leaf explants on the shoot regeneration of this plant showed that the highest number of shoots (5.22) was obtained with entire leaf explants on modified MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/l BAP and 0.01 mg/l IBA. Maximum number of leaves (4.66) and the longest and widest leaves (1.05 and 0.68 cm) were produced using entire leaf explants with 0.5 BAP mg/l and 2 mg/l plus 0.5 mg/l IBA, respectively. Whereas, the highest number of regenerated shoots (3.5), the longest (1.45 cm) and the widest shoots (0.87 cm) were observed in combination 1 mg/l Kin with 0.1 mg/l IBA with basal leaf segment explant. The results of root regeneration in modified MS and ½MS media supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 mg/l IBA showed that the highest number of roots (6.66), as well as the longest root (3.47 cm) were observed in ½MS medium supplemented with 1 and 1.5 mg / l IBA, respectively. From the rooted plantlets, 90% were adapted to the greenhouse environment. Generally, further optimization of this protocol may help to use leaf explant for commercial micropropagation of Haworthia attenuata. }, URL = {http://jispp.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1457-en.html}, eprint = {http://jispp.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1457-en.pdf}, journal = {Plant Process and Function}, doi = {}, year = {2021} }
