Young adventitious shoots from corm of Gladiolus were used as explants and cultured on MS medium supplemented with combination of various concentration (0, 0.1, 0.5 ,1 ,2 mg/l) BA or kinetin and (2%, 3% and 4%) sucrose. It was found that explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1-0.5 mg/l BA and 3% sucrose gave the highest average plantlets about 6.6 - 7.0 plantlets per explants within 12 weeks and MS medium with only 3% and 4% sucrose and free BA or kinetin gave the highest average plant height about 9.6–9.86 cm. The second was MS medium supplemented with 0.1–0.5 mg/l BA and 4% sucrose about 5.4 -5.6 plantlets and higher than kinetin concentration. After transferred plantlets to MS medium supplemented with various concentration of NAA and sucrose, the average number of cormels on MS medium supplemented with 0.1–0.5 mg/l NAA and 3% sucrose gave the highest about 5.8-5.6 cormels with fresh weight about 144mg per explant.
