ABSTRACT This study aimed to establish a methodology for vegetative propagation via mini-cuttings technique Mimosa Caesalpiniifolia. For such, three independent experiments were conducted: the first one evaluated survival and production of mini-stumps; second tested interaction between types (apical intermediate) different concentrations indolbutyric acid (IAB; 0, 2,000, 4,000 6,000 mg.L-1) on ...

Androgaphis lineate Nees., an important tribal medicinal plant of the Shevaroy Hill was noted to be restricted in its distribution due to biotic pressure. The species was successfully propagated by stem cuttings in its habitat. The percentage establishment of stem cuttings was 67.

Nature of Work: ‘Santa Rosa’ magnolia, a selection of the native Magnolia virginiana L. (Sweet Bay magnolia) introduced by Woodlanders Nursery, Aiken, S.C. in 1979, is an upright, evergreen tree with an open growth habit. Leaves of ‘Santa Rosa’ are larger than the species as are the lemon scented flowers (Raulston, personal communication). These attributes along with height growth that approach...

The present study explores the potential of exogenous auxins in the development of adventitious shoots and roots from shoot cuttings of Couroupita guianensis (Nagalingam), a threatened tree. Experiments were conducted to assess the effect of various concentrations of auxins on shoot and root morphological traits of stem cuttings in the greenhouse. Amongst the auxins tested, significant effects ...

The genetic control of propagation effects and the impact of stock-plant age and source was examined in 9 month-old Pinus radiata cuttings. The cuttings investigated were propagated from stock-plants aged between 2 and 5 years, and microcuttings propagated from 12 week old stock-plants. The design included 20 families, with seven clones per family and an average of seven ramets per clone. Five ...
