Roots and shoots were successfully grown from callus cultures of Atriplex canescens and A.griffithsii in some experiments. Attempts to replicate organogenesis in callus or liquid cultures from these species and in A. acanthocarpa, A. confertifolia, and A. polycarpa were unsuccessful, indicating that specific genetic or cultural requirements were necessary for induction. Shoot-tips were multiplied rapidly after two months in culture from diploid (2x), tetraploid (4x), and hexaploid (6x), plants and from three different collections of 4x populations. Shoot-tip multiplication is a promising method of mass propagation of \ specific genotypes of Atriplex species.
