“…Vasar et al (1998) and Ružić et al (2000;2001) have shown, however, that Prunus species have a greater nutritional demand at the propagation stage (MS or doubled MS). Nutritional requirements are not only species-specific but also specific to the stage of in vitro development.…”

The effect of different ammonium NH 4 + and nitrate NO 3 -ratios (4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:6) on organogenesis of 'Węgierka Zwykła' leaf explants cultivated on media with nitrogen levels equalling full-or half-MS was investigated. On media with total nitrogen equal to ½ MS, explant regeneration increased significantly and was highest on media with 1:2 or 1:4 NH 4 + :NO 3 -ratio. An excess of ammonium versus nitrate ions had a negative effect on both regeneration and biomass. Addition of potassium to the medium increased the fresh weight of explants and the number of adventitious buds.

“…The most successful adventitious bud regeneration from leaf explants of sweet cherries was noted on media containing basalt salts of QL or DKW and WPM media mixed (Matt and Jehle 2005). So far, such studies have not included plums and the only experiments have dealt with micropropagation (Vasar et al 1998).…”

“…Rooting was achieved on MS medium with 5.7 lM IAA and 1 mM PG. Vasar et al [176] reported that in vitro shoots of plum on full-strength MS medium had darker green leaves than those on modified MS medium with lower nitrogen concentration. BA was found to be able to induce shoot proliferation, while shoots treated with 2iP could be acclimatized more easily.…”

Black cherry (Prunus serotina) is a valuable hardwood timber species, and its value highly depends on the wood quality which is often threatened by insect pests. Transgenic black cherry plants that are more resistant to cambial-mining insects may reduce the occurrence of gummosis and have great economic benefits to landowners and the forest products industries utilizing black cherry lumber and logs. In this review, general information about black cherry and the problem of gummosis are introduced. The various strategies for gene containment, the possibility of using cyanogenesis to enhance host resistance, and the current status of micropropagation, adventitious shoot regeneration, rooting, and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in P. serotina and several other Prunus species are briefly discussed. Keywords Agrobacterium Á Cyanogenesis Á Flowering Á Gummosis Á In vitro culture Á Prunus Á Reproductive sterility Á Transgene containment Black Cherry Black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.), also known as wild black cherry, rum cherry, and mountain black cherry, is the only member in the genus Prunus that is of commercial importance as a timber species [96]. It is native to North America and is widely distributed throughout the eastern United States [28]. There are five varieties that are usually recognized based on the height of the tree and the thickness of the leaves: (1) P. serotina var. eximia (Small) Little; (2) P. serotina var. rufula (Woot. & Standl.) McVaugh; (3) P. serotina var. virens (Woot. & Standl.) McVaugh; (4) P. serotina var. salicifolia (Kunth) Koehne; and (5) P. serotina var. serotina. Among them, P. serotina var. serotina is the most common and widespread variety in the eastern United States and Canada [126]. Black cherry is one of the most valuable hardwoods for cabinets, furniture, veneer, architectural millwork, and musical instruments [93]. However, large and high-quality trees suited for commercial use (belonging to var. serotina) are only found in a restricted area on the Allegheny Plateau of Pennsylvania, New York, and West Virginia [57, 92]. Black cherry (subgenus Padus) is a deciduous and monoecious tree with moderate size. The leaves are 5-13cm in length and elliptical with serrated leaf margins. Its elongated racemes are small and have numerous white, perfect flowers in a leafy shoot, and its fruits are fleshy [14]. The fruits are acyanogenic throughout the developmental stages as they lack the catabolic enzymes, whereas the seeds become highly cyanogenic during the process of maturation with the accumulation of both the catabolic enzymes and cyanogenic glycosides [166]. Black cherry grows best in areas that are cool, moist, and temperate [41]. Black cherry serves as a host to a large number of pathogens. It is susceptible to soil-borne pathogens that are Endorsed by Paula M. Pijut.
