Abstract
The present research was carried out during three successive years (2000· 2002). in order to sh;rly the effect or indole butyric acid (ISA) to phloroglucinol (PG) ratio in culture medium (Murashige and Skoog (1962) at half strength] on rooting of shoots and subsequently, acclimatization of the obtained plantlets of Malli Merton 106 {MM 106} apple rootstock.
The main results can be summarized in the following points:
1- Using the Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium at half strength (1/2 MS) containing 1.0 mgr' ISA and 162.0 mg1" PG, the rooling percentage or shoots was significantly the highest (100%). The average number of roots per shool {7.S} and the average root length per shoot (4.67 em) were significantly the highest.
2- Seventy-fIVe percent of the obtained plants of MM 106 apple rootstock were successfully transplanled to soil. These plants were uniformity, vigorously growing and healthy under Ihe greenhouse conditions.
