Rootstocks for sweet cherry (Prunus canescens) Camil GM 79 were grown in vitro on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, and on MS medium with double- and half-strength macroelements. All the media contained 4.4 microM 6-benzyladenine, 0.5 microM alpha-naphthylacetic acid, 0.3 microM gibberellic acid, 20 g/cubic dm sucrose and 7 g/cubic dm agar. The chemical analyses were monitored on day 0 and 40 of culturing in callus, stem and leaves. Fresh and dry mass of shoots increased linearly up to the end of culture. The highest fresh and dry masses and also the content of Ca and Mg were registered in shoots grown on half-strength MS medium.
