Abstract

Shoots of Crataegus japan L. were propagated in vitro and cultured on half strength MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of IBA (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) mg/L. They were incubated at controlled conditions. Observations were recorded weekly for eight weeks. Results showed that the addition of IBA at 2 mg/L gave the highest percent of rooting reached 50% after six weeks from culturing. Addition of IBA to the medium increased the mean number of roots and the mean fresh and dry weight of the roots.
