Abstract：Using the stems of peppermint as explants , the effects of 4 different culture media ( MS, 1/2 MS, B5 and N6 ) on callus induction , bud differentiation and root induction were studied in this paper .The re-sults showed that the callus induction rate was the highest in 1/2MS up to 100%;N6 was the best medium for callus growth;the bud induction rate was the highest in B 5 medium as 40%, but the bud grew better in 1/2 MS;1/2 MS was the most suitable for root induction with the induction rate as 82 .5%.Comprehensive analy-sis showed that the best medium for peppermint callus and root induction was 1/2MS, while the best medium for bud induction was B 5 .
