Propagation of Magnolia virginiana ‘Santa Rosa’ by Stem Cuttings (Student)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nature of Work: ‘Santa Rosa’ magnolia, a selection of the native Magnolia virginiana L. (Sweet Bay magnolia) introduced by Woodlanders Nursery, Aiken, S.C. in 1979, is an upright, evergreen tree with an open growth habit. Leaves of ‘Santa Rosa’ are larger than the species as are the lemon scented flowers (Raulston, personal communication). These attributes along with height growth that approaches 1 to 1.5 m (3 to 4 ft) per year make ‘Santa Rosa’ a desirable landscape plant. However, production of ‘Santa Rosa’ magnolia has been hindered due to propagation difficulties associated with rooting stem cuttings.

Improvement of Rooting in Forsythia × intermedia Cuttings by Plant Growth Regulators
Asexual propagation through cuttings is an appropriate method used for most ornamental plants. Success in increasing the percentage of rooting, reducing root emergence and increasing proliferation efficiency depends on several factors like plant growth regulators, especially auxins. Rooting of Forsythia × intermedia is difficult and requires specific hormonal treatments and proper cultivation b...

Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) and other species of ambrosia beetles are key pests of ornamental nursery trees. A variety of laboratory- and field-based experiments were conducted in pursuit of improved monitoring strategies and to develop a trap tree strategy for ambrosia beetles. Traps baited with bolts prepared from Magnolia virginiana L. injected with ethanol caught five times more X. ge...

Leaves are essential in the propagation of roses by cuttings. However, about the underlying principles, there is no unequivocal opinion in the literature. We investigated the hypothesis that current photosynthesis would represent the dominating factor. To validate this hypothesis variations in photosynthesis were created by reducing leaf area, covering of leaves and by reducing CO2 air concentr...

Vegetative propagation potentials of stem cuttings of different physiological ages of Gongronema latifolia highly valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties in South-eastern Nigeria was studied during two seasons in Nsukka. A single source of stem cuttings of the different physiological ages (hardwood, semihardwood and soft wood) was taken from a clone in a forest in South-eastern Nige...
