Summary: This projects objectives were: 1) Determine effect of rooting hormone types and concentrations on callus formation. 2) Compare PRS and MS medium formulations for efficiency of root production. 3) Test rooting protocols on rootstock selections for in vitro rooting. 4) Test direct rooting to soilless medium in a commercial setting. 5) Transfer this information to the micropropagation industry for use.
