Abstract The effect of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) on the formation of non-transformed and rol gene transformed roots on stem slices of in vitro cultured shoots of Rosa hybrida L. ‘Moneyway’ was examined. Formation of adventitious roots on this rootstock was dependent on the IBA dose; it was not affected by the presence of other root primordia on the same explant. Application of 0.32 to 1 μM IBA during 5 days, followed by transfer to medium without hormones resulted in maximum root formation (90%) after three weeks. The formation of such untransformed roots was completely inhibited by transfer to medium with 5 mg 1−1 kanamycin two days after excision. Ri roots were formed upon inoculation with A. rhizogenes LBA9402 harbouring two plasmids: pRi1855, comprising the rol genes and the binary plasmid p 35Sgusintron with the nptII gene for kanamycin resistance and the CaMV 35Sgusintron gene. The formation of these Ri roots on kanamycin-containing medium was independent of the presence of IBA. Stem slices inoculated with a disarmed A. tumefaciens GV3101, harbouring only the nptII gene, formed callus and subsequently roots in the presence of kanamycin exclusively on medium with high IBA concentrations (10 or 100 μM). Root formation at 100 μM IBA was considerably improved by transformation with the rolB gene under the influence of the strong CaMV 35S promoter. In addition, low IBA (0.1 and 1 μM) stimulated the formation of roots only on stem slices transformed with A. tumefaciens harbouring the rolA+rolB+rolC genes; the rooting response at 10 μM IBA was much improved. It was concluded that the 35SrolB gene and especially a combination of rolA, B and C genes promote the rooting response.
