Abstract

Quercus pedunculiflorahas been propagated in vitrofrom nodal segments of seedling 4months of age, green and mature acorns. The nutrient media, Woody Plant Medium (WPM) and Gres-soff and Doy, suplimented with benzylaminopurine (BAP 0,8 mg/l or 1 mg/l) have stimulated well theinduction of auxillary and adventitious buds. The development of induced buds into shoots occurredon nutrient medium supplemented with a low concentration of BAP (0,8 mg/l). The optimum con-centrations of mannitol or polyetylenglycol that can be achieved in vitroselection of the grayish oakshoots have been situated between 12 - 15 g%.Roots were formed on shoots placed in half - reduced salts medium, containing lowconcentration of auxins (IBA 0,3 mg/l) and NAA 0,1 mg/l) in 4-5 weeks. Rooted plants weretransplanted into pots containing a mixture of soil and perlite (1o:1 v/v) for acclimation.
