Hormonal Regulation of Root Formation

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Plant Growth and Development

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 16))

Abstract

With the growing trend towards more and more of plantation forestry, introduction of fast growing trees and the genetic improvement of forest tree species, it is of practical significance to develop fast, convenient and economical method of raising the planting stock. Reproduction of forest tree species by shoot cuttings is very useful for the multiplication of species and for developing clones. Clone is of considerable importance in practical forestry because it offers advantage of uniformity of growth and development and immediate availabilty of superior individual for large scale afforestation and seed orchard work, it also eliminates differences in genetic constitution between trees. In comparison to other methods, planting of shoot cuttings is very convenient, as it may save time and labour usually involved in seed collection, lot of nursery work and severa/ years of weeding. The early flowering of shoot cuttings further saves time and given an easy approach to the tree breeder for genetical work at considerably lower height. Stem or shoot portion are generally very good material for rooting purposes, because they usually have undifferentiated tissues which may permit initiation of root primordia and they also have preformed buds.
