Adventitious rooting and anatomical aspects of Campomanesia phaea stems

Current literature is lacking regarding the vegetative propagation of cambuci tree (Campomanesia phaea O. Berg Landrum). This study aimed to verify efficiency cutting techniques via assessment cuttings varying types and sizes, sampling dates, influence treatments containing plant growth regulator indolebutyric acid (IBA) combined with antioxidant ascorbic across different immersion times. The species was found not develop adventitious roots easily, hence, herbaceous woody stem materials were subjected histochemical studies elucidate their anatomical physiological processes. To this end, material polymerized in glycol methacrylate resin, cut into sections, stained using toluidine blue (0.05%) or staining PAS/naphthol black. Anatomical analysis structures revealed presence phenolic compounds sclerenchyma tissue, which turn are expected negatively impact development roots.
