iron wood (parrotia persica) tree as a forest species has many applications in urban green landscape. however, its reproduction and seedling production have not been studied in iran. thus, knowing the type of cutting and hormone treatments to increase the rooting of cuttings can be very effective. accordingly, annual and perennial cuttings were prepared in january and june, respectively. cuttin...

Adventitious root formation in plant cuttings is influenced by many endogenous and environmental factors. Leaf photosynthesis during rooting of leafy cuttings in hard to root species can contribute to supply carbohydrates to the intensive metabolic processes related to adventious root formation. Light intensity during rooting is artificially kept low to decrease potential cutting desiccation, b...

This study surveyed a rapid, efficient and reproducible protocol for in vitro shoot regeneration and rooting by different explants and different concentration of BAP. Due to optimization of shoot regeneration, two media including of MS and modified MS (MS salts with double concentration of CaC21, and B5 vitamins), different explants such as decapitated embryo axes, epicotyls and cotyledonary no...

The relationships between rooting potential with endogenous phenolic compounds, nitrogen and soluble carbohydrates of cuttings for five olive cultivars (‘Rowghani’, ‘Dusti’, ‘Tokhmekabki’, ‘Konservalia’ and ‘Amigdalolia’) were investigated. Extracts of the leaves and the base of the cuttings were used for analysis of biochemical compounds. Results showed that there were significant differences ...

Ficus benjaminais a very popular and resistant indoor plant in temperate areas. Cutting is the easiest propagation method of this plant and it requires special treatments such as auxin and appropriate rooting medium. In order to test the suitable auxin (IBA) concentration and rooting media, a factorial experiment carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Exp...

two groups of olive cultivars were characterized as showing low (tokhmkabki) and high (roghani) rooting percentage after application of iba treatment. semi-hard wood cuttings were dipped in h 2 2 o 2 (0-3.5% w/v) and iba (4000 mg.l -1 ) and also they were investigated in combination. h 2 o 2 alone did not stimulate rooting of olive cuttings and there were no significant differences between this...

We examined effects of mist quantity, topophysis (origin of cutting in the crown of 6-year-old trees), maturation state of the donor stock, and time of sticking on rooting and root system quality of cuttings representing five full-sib hybrid larch families obtained with Larix decidua Mill., L. laricina (du Roi) K. Koch, and L. kaempferi (Lamb.) Sarg. (Sieb. and Zucc.) Gord., as parents. Mist fr...

Shoot tips of two fig cultivars (Conadria and Black Mission) proliferated in vitro, were cultured on modified MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The present investigation aimed to investigate the effect of different medium salt strengths (Double, full, half and quarter) and different sources of carbon (sucrose and fructose) at different concentrations (0.1 and 0.2 m...
