English Abstract

At establishment stage of Royal apricot on MS medium, axillary buds were taken from open field orchard, lath house and greenhouse.

The results revealed that the best explants source was greenhouse and the rate of successful shoot formation (83%) was higher followed by the lath house and open field orchard.

The results showed that the buds taken from dormant cuttings in January and treated with BA + GA3 gave better results when compared with those taken in spring.

At shoot multiplication stage, the highest number of shoots (2 shoots/ explants), the longest shoots (3.0 cm) and the highest number of leaves per (7 leaves/ explants) were achieved while adding 0.5 mgl-1 BA to MS medium which was significantly higher than the rest treatments.

Kinetin was less effective than BA at the same concentrations on shoot multiplication apricot.

The best rooting parameters were reorded when 1.0 mg/l IBA was added to a half strength MS salts medium by giving 6.0 roots per explant with 3.8 cm in length and a 75% of rooting success.

The plantlets performed well after being transferred to soil and did not show any morphological abnormalities
