Uninodal stem segment explants were cultured on agar solidifi ed Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.5 mg L-16-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 0.1 mg L-1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for bud multiplication for 3 months. Three nodals stem segment which already formed three perfect leaves were cultured on agar solidifi ed MS medium, 3% sucrose and 1 mg L-1 NAA for two weeks to induce root formation (until ± minimum 60% of the explants rooted). The next step was the induction of three nodal stem segments for microtuber formation on agar solidifi ed MS medium supplemented with 5 mg L-1 BAP and two levels of sucrose, four concentrations of daminozide for 10 weeks. Sucrose at 6% resulted in the signifi cantly highest number of microtuber. The daminozide 41.29 mg L-1 stimulated tuberization at base of the stems and reduce number of microtuber formation in stolon. Keywords: daminozide, Gynura pseudochina (L.)
