COMPARATIVE RESPONSE OF SOUR CHERRY CULTURES TO DIFFERENT CYTOKININS

B. Borkowska
The rosettes from proliferating cultures of sour cherry cvs. Schattenmorelle, North Star, Kelleris and Nefris were cultivated on MS medium, supplemented with one of 8 cytokinins: BA, zeatin, kinetin, 2iP or their ribosides at four different concentrations. New shoots appeared mainly on the medium with BA or, to a lesser degree, with BA-riboside. The most efficient concentration of BA for new shoot formation was 1.5 mg/l or 2.0 mg/l, depending on cultivar. Dry matter content in cultured tissue decreased with increasing BA concentrations. Activity of "salt-extracted" invertase sharply increased with the concentrations of BA and was very low for other cytokinins.
