  • The effects of light on photosynthesis and rooting of leafy cuttings of Pisum sativum L.

    Creator:
    Davis, Tim D.
    Abstract:
    The effects of light incident on leafy cuttings is quite complex because' light influences several factors which may affect root formation. One effect of light is to influence the carbohydrate status of the cutting by influencing photosynthesis. The role of current photosynthate in the rooting of leafy cuttings is uncertain....

  • Influence of photosynthesis and carbohydrates on adventitious root formation by leafy cuttings

    Creator:
    Davis, Tim D.
    Abstract:
    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 carbohydrate levels on adventitious root formation by leafy cuttings of a number of different species. Pea cuttings rooted at high CO₂ (1800...
