In Vitro Propagation of Sweet Cherry Cultivars1

Year: 1982

Type: article

Abstract: Four cultivars of sweet cherry ( Prunus avium L.) were propagated in vitro . The best basal medium for bud establishment was Knop’s solution and for bud proliferation was Murashige-Skoog’s medium. 6-Benzylamino purine (BA) at 1 mg/liter and indolebutyric acid (IBA) at 1 mg/liter were optimal for both bud establishment and bud proliferation. Increased rooting efficiency was obtained with basal shoot wounding and treatment with 0.5 mg/liter naphthalenacetic acid (NAA). Plantlets transferred to soil developed normally.
