Many investigators have suggested that current photosynthate supply can limit adventitious root formation on leafy cuttings. Accordingly, studies were undertaken to determine the effects of altering photosynthesis and ...

Adventitious root formation can be inhibited in stem cuttings of Pisum sativum L. (pea), an easy-to-root species, if the apical and lateral buds are removed. Application of exogenous auxin to the apical stump can repl ...

Fine roots are a dynamic component of Douglas-fir ecosystems. Changes in standing crops indicate that fine roots require a major portion of the stand's energy resources to fulfill their role in the functioning of these ...

Chapter 1 Growth and Survival of Root-Wrenched Douglas-fir Seedlings Root wrenching of seedlings (severing the roots 15 cm below the soil surface) was investigated as a nursery practice to improve growth and survival of ...
