The aim of the present study is to observe the capacity of adventitious organogenesis of leaves and stem segments of six cultivars of highbush blueberry. The effect of WPM cultural medium enriched with 3 mg/l zeatin, 3 mg/l zeatin ribozoid and 2 mg/l 2-iP on the regeneration potential, average and total regeneration rates was assessed. Direct organogenesis is different for individual genetic types of genus Vaccinium. The regenerative response in most of the variants is in favour of the stem segments as explant sources. The highest average number of regenerants was recorded in leaf segments of 'Bluejay' genotype - 5.6 numbers/explant at Azr medium.
