Abstract

This investigation was carried out in Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory. Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Mosul the objective of this study was to investigate the influence of different concentrations of benzyl adenine (BA) or Kinetin (kin) on multiplication of shoot tips of Tomato Red Rock and the effect of Indole-3 butyric acid (IBA) on rooting shoots propagation in vitro, the results can be summarized as follows: the highest shoots number 3.40 shoots per explant achieved from cultured shoot tips on medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l BA, while highest shoots number 2.0 shoot/explant achieved from cultured shoot tips on medium supplemented with 6.0 mg/L Kin. highest rooting percentage, roots number, root length were100% rooting, 4.4 roots/explant, 4.34 cm were achieved respectively from cultured shoots on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L IBA.
