	abstract = {A novel micropropagation method for pineapple (Ananas comosus 
		L.), based on shoot elongation induced in vitro, was 
		demonstrated for two cultivars. Decapitated in vitro plantlets 
		were used as explants. Shoot etiolation was induced by placing 
		explants in a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing NAA (10 
		mu M) and incubating in darkness at 28C for30 to 40 days. The 
		mean number of the regenerated etiolated shoots per explant was 
		2.6+/-0.29. The etiolated shoots were placed into N6 medium 
		supplemented with kinetin or BA (25 or 20 mu M, respectively). 
		After 4 to 6 weeks, shoots regenerated along the nodes. The 
		highest regeneration rate was 15 and 13 plantlets per node with 
		25 mu M kinetin and 20 mu M BA, respectively. Regenerated 
		plantlets were rooted on a growth-regulator-free MS medium. 
		Residual shoots of the initial explants could be recycled by 
		rooting on a growth-regulator-free MS medium. This procedure 
		enables the regeneration of several thousand plantlets per year. 
		Chemical names used: naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA); benzyladenine 
		(BA).},
