Abstract: A method for the vegetative propagation of the sea kale species is described. Buds are obtained from in vitro neoformation on a callus, which in turn is obtained from fragments of petioles or leaf laminas of the plant. The rootless plants are then micropropogated in vitro in a plant culture medium and cytokinines in the absence of auxins. The rootless plants bearing one or two leaves are cultured in vitro in a plant growth broth and one or more auxins in the absence of cytokinins until roots develop. The rooted plants are transferred to a solid plant growth substrate and bred under conditions of a natural photoperiod of illumination until a plant is obtained which is capable of growth in the field.
