Abstract: Shoot tips from ‘Marechal Foch’ and ‘Cascade’ were pretreated in 6-benzylamino purine (BA) solution at 0, 1.33 × 10 −3 , 2.22 × 10 −3 , or 3.94 × 10 −3 m and cultured in media containing naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0, 2.9 × 10 −6 or 5.7 × 10 −6 m . Higher concentrations of either BA or NAA reduced the effectiveness of the other in increasing dry weight of shoot tips. Shoots obtained were pretreated in indolebutyric acid (IBA) at 0, 1.48 × 10 −3 , 2.46 × 10 −3 , or 3.94 × 10 −3 m and then placed in water, half-strength, or full-strength Murashige and Skoog medium (MS). Rooting of both cultivars was improved by IBA pretreatment with maximum rooting at concentrations of 2.46 × 10 −3 or 3.94 × 10 −3 IBA and usually in half-strength MS.
