The explants were obtained from 30 days plantlets and transferred to media supplemented with picloram, 2,4-D, IAA (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mgl^-1) and BAP (0, 0.4, 0.8 mg l^-1). Samples were kept in the growth chamber in the darkness condition at 23°C. After 28 days, the interactions between explants types and hormone levels were investigated. The significant effect at the 1 percent probability was observed between treatment levels of 2, 4-D, picloram, BAP and its interaction (2, 4-D * BAP) for the calluses size and shoot numbers. Also the significant effect at the 1 percent probability was observed between treatment levels of IAA, BAP and its interaction (IAA*BAP) for the calluses size, shoot and root numbers. The highest numbers of shoots (83 shoots) were achieved in the leaf explants treated with 0.4 mgl^-1 BAP. The highest callus size (5 mm) was observed in media containing 0.5 mg l^-1 picloram and 0.4 mg l^-1 BAP and stem explants also greatest number (91 roots) of roots were observed in media supplemented with 2 mgl^-1 IAA in the leaf explants.
