Uniola paniculata L. is a major sand-dune stabilizing grass which is being utilized to prevent shoreline erosion. In vitro cultured caryopses of U. paniculata produced callus on MS medium supplemented with 22.5 μM 2,4-D, 4.4 μM BA and 87.6 mM sucrose. Shoot induction occurred after these calli were inoculated onto the same medium without 2,4-D. Rooting of in vitro-derived shoots occurred when transferred to a one-half strength MS medium containing 43.8 mM sucrose and 14.7 μM IBA. Plantlets were planted after the roots reached a length greater than 20 mm.
