The interaction of photosynthesis and auxin transport during adventitious root formation in Pisum sativum L. stem cuttings and the effect of stock plant etiolation on rooting

Creator:

Kumpula, Carol L.

Abstract:

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 replace the rooting stimulus produced by the buds. Root number was reduced by 50 to 100%...
