This study was carried out to determine the possibility of propogation of different cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) genotypes. Plant material of research was constituted Yalçınkaya-77 standart cornelian cherry cultivar with ‘44-18’, ‘Güney uzun’, ‘Güney yuvarlak’, ‘Mehmet’ and ‘Turgut’ genotypes. In the study, softwood cuttings were taken from the examined plants on June 15 2014. Prepared cuttings were divided into two groups and the first group was treated with 3500 ppm indole-3 butyric acid (IBA), while the second groups was not treated with anything (control group). Rooting ratio, callus ratio, longest root, shortest root, root branching, living cutting ratio and rooting quality characteristics of cornelian cherry cuttings removed 5 weeks after planting were investigated. In the study, no significant result was obtained in terms of investigated parameters in cuttings in the control groups. According to the results of the study, the rooting rate of cornelian cherry green cuttings with IBA (3500 ppm) was 80% to 100%, the number of roots was 12.86 to 42.94 per cutting-1, the callus rate was 13.30% to 73.30%, the longest root length was 7.74 mm to 23.88 mm, the shortest root length was 1.39 mm to 3.77 mm, and rooting quality was determined between 1.56 points to 2.93 points. As a result, rooting rate, number of roots and rooting quality characteristics which are effective on nursery tree quality were higher in “Mehmet”genotype compared to other genotypes. This genotype is recommended to be used in breeding and cultivation studies of cornelian chrerry fruit species.
