We investigated the influence of cutting water potential (Psicut) on rooting of juvenile hardwood (dormant) and softwood (succulent) stem cuttings of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) propagated under varying substrate water potentials (Psisub) and volumes of mist application. Mist treatment and Psisub contributed to the Psicut of unrooted stem cuttings. When Psisub was held constant across mist t...

The development of adventitious roots is affected by several factors, including the age of the cutting donor plant, which negatively affects rooting capacity. Eucalyptus globulus quickly loses rooting capacity of cuttings as the donor plant ages, although the molecular and biochemical mechanisms behind this process are still unclear. To better understand the bases of rooting competence loss in ...

The present investigation was carried out to study the In vitro shoot multiplication and callogenesis in Gladiolus. For this purpose, cormel, meristem and leaf explants were chosen. Different concentrations of BAP i. e., 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or 2.5 mgL (2.22, 4.44, 6.66, 8.88 or 11.10 μM) were supplemented to MS medium. Both cormel and meristem explants showed maximum multiplication on MS medium ...

In order to find a way to induce rooting on cuttings of Hemarthria compressa cv. Ya'an under controlled conditions, a project was carried out to study the effect of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on rooting in stem cuttings and related physiological changes during the rooting process of Hemarthria compressa. The cuttings were treated with five concentrations of NAA (0, 100, 200 300, 400 mg/l) at...

GF677 rootstock (peach ×almond) is an important rootstock for peach. It was produced by Bernhard in French at Grand Farad Research Centre in 1965. The present study focused on the effect of some PGRs on propagation and root induction on GNH medium as part of providing an applicable protocol for micro-propagation of mentioned rootstock. Results indicated that BAP at concentration of 0.5 mg/l plu...
