(prickly custard apple) is an evergreen tree, native of tropical America, that is widely cultivated in the tropics for its fruit. The ripe fruit yields a white pulp that is used for preparing sherbets and refreshing drinks. Efforts to cross this species with other Annona species had no success so far and hence tree improvement becomes difficult (Samson 1986). A muricata has normally been propagated from seeds, since vegetative propagation through conventional methods is very slow and costly, Thus, the in vitro method could be important for propagation of this species. This paper describes a system for the micropropagation of A. muricata using juvenile explants.  amicropropagation  aorganogenesis  atissue culture  aMicropropagação  aOrganogénese  aCultura de tecidos  aHipocotico  aHypocotyl  aPlant regeneration  aRegeneracao de plantas1 aHARIHARAN, M.  tPlant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culturegv.31, p.245-247, 1992.
