Apical meristems from Loblolly pine seeds were grown on GD media with ABA ranging from 0, 10−8, 10−6 and 10−7 M in combination with water stress treatments induced by using 0, 2.0g and 5.6 g/L mannitol. Application of 10−7 M ABA when used with 5.6 g/1 mannitol resulted in highest response for shoot bud formation with maximum number of shoots.
