  • Process for propagating strawberry plants
    Patent number: 3972146
    Abstract: Strawberry plants are propagated by placing the normally dormant axillary or adventive shoots located on a strawberry plantlet at the base of a leaf stalk in an aqueous nutrient medium containing 0.01 to 100 mg/l N-benzyl-6-aminopurine until a multiplicity of shoots is formed, separating the formed shoots, and transplanting the separated shoots into another nutrient medium. The first medium must contain 0.01 to 100 mg/l N-benzyl-6-aminopurine, and the last transplanting medium should not contain more than 0.1 mg/l of the cytokinin in order to permit normal formation of leaves and roots.
