Abstract Female and male plants of difficult-to-root species Leucadendron elimense subsp. were investigated for rooting potential with three hormones: indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-naphthaleneacetic (NAA), indole-3-butyric (IBA) at different concentrations (2000 ppm, 4000 6000 ppm). The experiment was made under essential misting, bottom heat, a naturally ventilated greenhouse. After 18 weeks t...

Abstract Ninebark ( Physocarpus opulifolius ) is an attractive ornamental shrub with poor rooting characteristics in some cultivars, which a limiting factor commercial production This study was designed to optimize conditions of ninebark cuttings and observe the effect exogenous auxin IBA on morpho-anatomical biochemical changes associated rhizogenesis vitro conditions. Both auxins under study:...

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) can be easily propagated with daughter plants or through crown division, which are developed from the axillary bud at axils of leaves. This study was conducted to investigate effects different cytokinins, auxins, and their combinations on growth in strawberry. Four cytokinins (6-benzyladenine, kinetin, zeatin, thidiazuron (TDZ)) three auxins (indole-3-acet...

The acquisition of water and nutrients by plant roots is a fundamental aspect of agriculture and strongly depends on root architecture. Root branching and expansion of the root system is achieved through the development of lateral roots and is to a large extent controlled by the plant hormone auxin. However, the pleiotropic effects of auxin or auxin-like molecules on root systems complicate the...

The induction of rooting in microshoots of Zingiber officinale cvs. Suprava, Turia local, Suruchi and V3S18 was achieved on half-strength basal Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 0.5-1.0 mg/l either indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 2% (w/v) sucrose within 7-9 days of culture. Rooting was inhibited when the microshoots were cultured under higher concentra...
