	*TISSUE CULTURE STUDIES FOR MICROPROPAGATION OF CARNATION (DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUS* L) IHSAN ILAHI, FAREEHA AZIZ AND MUSSARAT JABEEN Abstract:** Rapid propagation of carnation (Dianlhus caryophyllus L) was achieved in vitro. Multiple shoots were induced from nodal explants on MS medium supplemented with 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 mg/l of BAP. For further proliferation the multiple shoots were transferred to MS medium containing different concentrations of BAP and GA₃ alone or in combination. Maximum number of plantlets per flask were produced on medium enriched with 5.0 mg/l BAP. Rooting was stimulated by subculturing the proliferated shoots on 1/2 MS, 3% sucrose and I % agar. Rooted plantlets were successfully raised in pots filled with soil. Department of Botany, University of Peshawar, Peshawar, Pakistan.
