Abstract
The in vitro culture method was used to determine the effects of chlorogenic acids on the growth of the callus of P. avium.
The callus was derived from short segments of young elongating internodes from vigorously growing shoots.
Chlorogenic acids administered either singly or in combination with tryptamine or tryptophan promoted callus growth.
There is no difference between light- and dark-grown cultures.
Since vigorously growing P. avium contains more chlorogenic acids than medium sized P.cerasus or dwarfing P.fruticosa, these results are of particular importance for further exploration of the growth physiology of Prunus trees.
