The study reports effects of various concentrations of Kinetin and alpha- Naftalin asetik asit (NAA) (kinetin and 0.1+ 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 NAA mg/I) on shoot regeneration (percentage, number and length of shoot) of Trifolium pannonicum ssp. elongatum from hypocotyl and petiole of cotyledon leaf. The maximum (91.7%) shoot regeneration frequency (25%) was recorded on hypocotyl explant on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 1 mg/I Kinetin + 0.4 mg/I NAA; whereas, minimum shoot regeneration frequency (25%) was in medium containing 1 mg/I Kinetin + 0.1 NAA respectively, in both hypcotyl and petiole of cotyledon leaf explant. The highest number of 11.2 +/- 1.3 shoots per explant was recorded on MS medium containing 1 mg/I Kinetin+0.4 mg/I NAA and the lowest number of 2.5 +/- 0.6 was in medium containing 1 mg/I Kinetin+0.1 mg/I NAA respectively. The longest shoots (3.5 +/- 0.5 cm) were recorded on MS medium containing 1 mg/I kinetin+ 0,1 mg/L NAA, and the smallest shoots (1.5 +/- 0.2 cm) were recorded on MS medium containing 1 mg/I kinetin + 0.4 NAA. Maximum frequency of 95% roots was recorded on MS medium containing 1 mg/I IBA.
