Abstract

In vitro micropropagation is the most valid production method used for disease-free, clonal, and mass production of plants developed using unique breeding methods. This study was carried out to establish appropriate protocols for the micropropagation of 10 (Prunus amygdalus) × (P. amygdalus × P. persica) hybrid rootstocks obtained by crossbreeding. The maximum micro shoot and shoot length values were obtained from the medium (MED 11) as 3.92 shoots/explant and 14.59 mm, respectively. The best rooting values were obtained from MS medium supplemented with 1.75 mgL−1 IBA + 0.1 mgL−1 BAP (MED-5) in the rooting study. The highest average root number, root length, and root diameter of shoots 2.79 pcs/explant, 14.36 mm, and 1.15 pcs/explant, respectively, were observed. It is suggested that MS media supplemented with MED-11 (0.1 mg.L−1 IBA + 1.75 mg.L−1 BAP + 0.2 mg.L−1 GA3), MED-12 (0.1 mg.L−1 IBA + 2.0 mg.L−1 BAP + 0.2 mg.L−1 GA3) for regeneration, MED‑5 (1.75 mg.L−1 IBA + 0.1 mg.L−1 BAP), and MED‑6 (2.0 mg.L−1 IBA + 0.1 mg.L−1 BAP) hormone combinations for rooting would be appropriate for the micropropagation of hybrid rootstocks. It is thought that the results of the study can be a guide for new studies to be carried out especially in these species.
