Abstract
Methods are described for the in vitro propagation of Provence quince for pear rootstock, making possible the production of a large number of plants from micro-cuttings. The influence of 6-benzylaminopurine concentrations on shoot multiplication and elongation was determined. The best rate of shoot multiplication was obtained with 2 mg l −1 6-benzylaminopurine (more than 5 shoots per culture). Rooting was obtained on media containing 0.1–1 mg l −1 naphthaleneacetic acid; the best combination of percentage and quality of roots was with 0.1 mg l −1 naphthaleneacetic acid. The effect of transferring to a hormone-free medium is discussed.
