Abstract
The article presents the results of research on the effect of laser irradiation on rooting microcuttings of plants of the genus Rubus. The effect of helium-neon (λ = 632.8 nm) and red semiconductor laser (λ = 655 nm) on the frequency of rooting, the intensity of root formation, the growth of roots and shoots were studied. It has been established, that the use of LCR in 1,5-2,2 times increased the efficiency of rhizogenesis, accelerated the formation of roots, and growth of shoots.
Keywords: Rubus, clonal micropropagation, laser irradiation, rhizogenesis process, microcuttings
