Abstract

We conducted studies to develop methods of introducing the culture in vitro micropropagation and grown them in the Black Sea city of Sochi. The valuable plant Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds. Apical stem tips (0,2-0,3 mm) were planted on MS basal medium contained of MS salts, 100 mg L-1 myo-inositol, 0.2 mg L-1 thiamine HCl, 0.1 mg L-1 pyridoxine HCl, 0.2 mg L-1 ascorbic acid, 0,5 mg L-1 nicotinic acid, 20 g L-1 sucrose, and 0.6% cell culture reagent agar.
