Wild cherry ( Prunus avium L.) shoots were cultured in closed vessels on a proliferation medium and the volatile substances released during incubation at photosynthetic photon flux density of 30 μmol m –2 S –1 were determined. Ethylene and CO 2 started forming at the beginning of the incubation period and a linear relationship between their formation was observed even at high CO 2 concentrations. After 30 days of culture, CO 2 reached a concentration of 30%. Shoots released elhanol and acetaldehyde after several days of incubation.
