Adventitious root formation in the cloned microcuttings of Prunus avium

The rhizogenesis of the wild cherry shoots cloned in vitro has been investigated. The best re­ sults (70-90 % rooting) in the in vitro conditions were achieved by placing the shoots on an agar solidi­ fied mod. WPM medium supplemented with 2% sucrose and 4.9 µM IBA under a regime of 16/8 hr light/d...

Description
Summary:The rhizogenesis of the wild cherry shoots cloned in vitro has been investigated. The best re­ sults (70-90 % rooting) in the in vitro conditions were achieved by placing the shoots on an agar solidi­ fied mod. WPM medium supplemented with 2% sucrose and 4.9 µM IBA under a regime of 16/8 hr light/dark photoperiod at 24° ± 2°C, and illuminated by white fluorescent lamps.  Elongated and hardened shoots, dipped in the commercial rooting powder Seradix B, or treated 4 hr in a water solution of 246µM IBA, rooted optimally (90-100%) in saturated humidity under semi-sterile greenhouse conditions. The genetic control of adventitious rooting among the clones tested was con­ firmed.
