_Environmental, Physiological and Chemical Controls of Adventitious
Rooting in Cuttings_ provides a review of the environmental,
physiological and chemical controls of adventitious rooting in
cuttings obtained from plants. In plants, adventitious roots, which
are highly useful for vegetative propagation (or clonal propagation)
are produced mainly from leaves, hypocotyls, stems or shoots.
Vegetative propagation may occur naturally by using propagules such as
roots, underground and aerial stems, leaves, buds and bulbils. It may
also be done artificially through regenerative organs (rhizomes,
bulbs, and corms) and by utilizing specialized methods, like cutting,
grafting and layering. This book covers the latest tactics surrounding
these processes.
As a plethora of factors affect the adventitious rooting of cuttings,
adding to the complexity of the phenomenon. The main factors which
control adventitious root formation are types of cuttings, presence of
leaf area on cuttings, types of hormones and their concentration,
duration of hormonal treatment (quick dip, long soak, dry dip, spray
dip, or total immerse method), maturation (juvenile or mature),
genotype, explant position, and more, all of which are discussed here.
* Provides a comprehensive and exclusive book on the environmental,
physiological and chemical factors associated with adventitious root
formation in cutting, with up-to-date literature and lucid
illustrations
* Presents a multidimensional approach and a broad range of
explanation on adventitious root formation associated with mature and
juvenile cutting
* Discusses a number of molecular, histological and physiological
markers associated with adventitious root formation in numerous plant
species
* Elaborates on how external and internal factors control the
cell/tissue initiation, differentiation and overall adventitious root
formation in cutting
