Abstract
New approaches towards understanding the control of adventitious root formation include studies at the level of gene expression. We discuss attempts to determine the identity of as yet unknown genes which are specific to formation of roots, as well as studies on the expression of genes known to be involved in the wound response. A number of genes appear to be specific to adventitious root formation in several species including loblolly pine, and the expression of these genes changes with maturation. Keywords: adventitious rooting, gene expression, loblolly pine
