SUMMARY Induction of roots and shoots from leaves of Plantago lanceolata L. using IAA is a very effective technique which could be extended to large scale cloning for vegetative propagation and assay procedures in genecological studies on this and other species. In P. lanceolata , there were no differences between populations from contrasting habitats with regard to proportion of leaves producing roots and shoots. There was a high correlation between zinc tolerance measured on rooted leaves and on equivalent rooted tillers.
