Abstract
The rooting capacity of hypocotyl segments of sweet cherry cv. Mericier and Bing was investigated. NAA [naphthaleneacetic acid] (1 mg/l) and kinetin (0.1 mg/l) stimulated root induction (''Mericier'' 82.9%, ''Bing'' 44.4%). Without kinetin rooting was reduced to 37.1% in ''Mericier'' and to nil in ''Bing''. Purine and pyrimidine bases enhanced root formation. Cytosine proved optimal (''Mericier'' 80%, ''Bing'' 55.6%).
