Summary

The rooting potential of four types or origins of Prunus avium cuttings from the same mature trees (over 20 years-old) was compared using a mist propagation bed during early Summer (June). The cuttings originated from juvenile sucker shoots of the current and previous year, and mature crown shoots (current year’s lateral ‘long-shoots’ and multi-year terminal ‘short shoots’). The morphological differences in inter-node length, stem diameter and leaf area between the four cutting types were highly significant (P = 0.05), leading to large differences in cutting volume and, so it is argued, to assimilate reserves. Juvenile cuttings rooted well (65% and 77% rooting for hardwood and softwood shoots, respectively), while mature cuttings rooted poorly (4% and 7% for mature hardwood and softwood cuttings, respectively). Leaf abscission was significantly more frequent in mature hardwood cuttings (16 – 78%) than in the other cutting types (1.6 – 9%) at the end of the propagation period. Leaf loss resulted from two processes: abscission and leaf rotting. Physiologically (i.e., in carbon assimilation, leaf transpiration and stomatal conductance), the four cutting types were not significantly different early in the post-severance period (day-4); but, by day-22, stomatal conductance was lowest in mature hardwood cuttings that still had leaves. At this time, the most physiologically-active unrooted cuttings were from juvenile hardwood and mature softwood shoots. The extent of physiological and morphological variability between cutting types and their probable impact on processes affecting rooting ability is complex and highly interactive. Consequently, it is not possible to explain the causes of the variation in rooting ability between juvenile and mature cuttings, although this study suggests that the constraints to rooting are likely to reflect physiological differences between the different cutting types. It is concluded that, to resolve the debate about factors that affect the rooting ability of juvenile and mature cuttings (i.e., ontogenetic vs. physiological ageing), there is a need to achieve morphological and physiological comparability in the tissues.  相似文献

The behaviour of hardwood cuttings is influenced by factors that have operated upon the parent plant. A comprehensive study, not only of such " source ” effects but also of their interaction with growth substance treatment and subsequent environment, aims to extend this method of propagation. Patterns of behaviour of varieties of very different rooting capacity are clearly related, layer cuttings being better than hedge, with a declining gradient from the base of the shoot. The etiolated basal cutting from a layer shoot normally roots well whenever planted, but non-etiolated cuttings derive considerable benefit from over-wintering in soil.

With the readily rooting Myrobalan B, growth substance application in the autumn is not essential ; such treatment is advocated for the moderately rooting Brompton plum while, with the shyly rooting Crab C, accelerative influence has, so far, proved inadequate. Success with Crab C could derive from the ability of the cutting to survive, though unrooted, into the second year when rooting normally follows. Spring planting and absence of growth substance stimulation enhance this chance.

Brompton cuttings have medium power to survive, whereas Myrobalan B cuttings have only low, so that they are liable to succumb when conditions are adverse. The survival factor may contribute considerably towards the rooting gradient and must be distinguished from inherent rooting capacity.

When the rooting of non-etiolated cuttings is satisfactory the relative disparity of hedge compared with layer cuttings diminishes, and hedge culture is highly favoured for supplying cuttings.

Elevation of hitherto shy-rooting varieties to high levels depends upon further adjustment both of growth substance treatment and subsequent environment.  相似文献

Summary

The influence of the ethylene action inhibitors STS and 1-MCP on poststorage performance and subsequent rooting of cuttings was investigated in Epipremnum pinnatum. Unfavourable storage conditions resulted in decreasing poststorage quality of single-eye cuttings, expressed as leaf drop and yellowing. 1-MCP and STS prohibited leaf drop and yellowing in E. pinnatum. STS pretreatment decreased rooting ability significantly, measured as percentage of rooted cuttings, number of roots, total root length and dry weight. STS caused severe injuries to the cuttings, which were worse if the cuttings were stored rather than propagated immediately. There was no significant difference in rooting between 1-MCP treated cuttings and untreated control in either stored or unstored cuttings. The influence of ethylene action inhibitors on rooting and a possible use of 1-MCP for practical use to increase poststorage performance in cuttings are discussed.  相似文献

Cuttings from 2 cultivars of Cornus alba propagated in late September produced more and longer roots in long days (LD) than in natural days (ND). The effects of photoperiod on rooting were much less when cuttings were propagated in mid-August. LD during propagation in mid-August delayed the onset of leaf senescence and bud dormancy so that heavier and taller plants were obtained. Bud dormancy did not develop if the plants were grown under LD throughout the winter. Such treatment produced very tall plants and resulted in a greater proportion of their dry matter being distributed to the stems.Short-day (SD) treatment hastened bud dormancy development followed eventually by leaf senescence. Returning the plants to LD after more than 3 months of SD-treatment did not overcome the bud dormancy regardless of whether the plants still had leaves.It is recommended that if material of Cornus alba is propagated in August, the natural photoperiod should be extended during propagation so as to improve plant growth.  相似文献

Adventitious rooting in dormant hardwood cuttings of MM. 106 apple rootstock was depressed by latent infection with five viruses, viz. rubbery wood, stem pitting, epinasty and decline, chlorotic leaf spot and platycarpa scaly bark viruses.

Both the number of rooted cuttings and the number of roots per rooted cutting were reduced, and fewer unrooted cuttings remained alive, thus representing a further potential loss.

The production of shoots suitable for use as cuttings was decreased from infected hedges, as was the ability of cuttings subsequently to become established and grow in the nursery.  相似文献

An objective of this study was to investigate rooting success of grape cuttings propagated from vines symptomatic of Pierce’s disease. Additional objectives were to assess if rooted cuttings could survive and produce viable plants, and determine if Xylella fastidiosa (causal agent of Pierce’s disease) could be found in rooted cuttings. In Jan. 2008, cuttings were taken from symptomatic and asymptomatic ‘Merlot’ and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grapevines growing in the Hill Country and Gulf Coast regions of Texas. Six weeks after cuttings were propagated, each cutting was uprooted and evaluated for rooting and infection parameters. Cuttings were then planted in containers and held in the greenhouse to evaluate survivability. To confirm the presence of X. fastidiosa, propagated cuttings were tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Data indicate several rooted cuttings tested positive for X. fastidiosa and appeared viable and healthy. Therefore, vines infected with X. fastidiosa have the ability to produce asexually propagated cuttings, and potentially contaminate non-infected vineyards.  相似文献

Wounding and the application of IBA and basal heat to unrooted shoots from stools of M.27 apple rootstock greatly improved their establishment when planted back into the nursery for a second season. The effect of wounding was to cut through the phloem sclerenchymatous sheath, partially simulating the anatomy of ready rooting basal hardwood cuttings in which the sclerenchyma is divided by a number of leaf traces.  相似文献

Summary

Annatto (Bixa orellana L.) is a tree indigenous to tropical America that has been naturalised throughout the Indian sub-continent. The plant is chiefly valued for its carotenoid pigments, annatto. Methods for the clonal propagation of hardwood and softwood cuttings, air-layering, budding, and grafting of annatto were investigated. Hardwood cuttings collected during the wet Summer months (June-July) were treated with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), or naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at varying concentrations. The highest percentage rooting (63.4%), along with highest number of roots (8.33 per cutting) were achieved by hardwood cuttings after 12 h of 2.5 mM IAA treatment. Among the various auxin treatments of softwood cuttings, 5.0 mM IBA in combination with 5.0 mM NAA for 5 min resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) rooting percentage (56.7%). The responses of softwood cuttings to an auxin analogue (boric acid) and/or to thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B) were inferior to synthetic auxins. When subjected to air-layering, hardwood branches gave 100% rooting without any application of hormone. Among the different types of budding methods attempted (patch, T, or I), patch budding produced the highest efficiency (78%) of propagation. Splice-grafting could also be used for conventional propagation of annatto, with a 50% survival rate. Annatto can therefore be cloned by adopting these methods. Propagation based on softwood cuttings facilitated moderate-scale cloning of this valuable, elite germplasm.  相似文献

Summary

Semi-hardwood cuttings of Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’, Deutzia ‘Mont Rose’, Forsythia × intermedia ‘Lynwood’, Ligustrum vulgare ‘Liga’, Philadelphus × virginalis, Potentilla fruticosa ‘Goldfinger’, and Spiraea × vanhouttei were planted on seven dates from July to October in two years and at three locations to investigate the effect of planting date on root formation, axillary bud growth, and plant survival. Cuttings were planted directly in the field and covered with polyethylene. Generally, root formation, bud growth, and plant survival were similar both years and at the three locations. All species except Deutzia had relatively constant rooting percentages at planting dates until mid August. For all species rooting percentages declined from mid August to October. Except for Deutzia, plant survival the following spring was constant or decreasing with planting date. For all species except Potentilla axillary bud growth and survival of cuttings planted in late September or October tended to increase while rooting percentages continued to decrease. In all species there was a close relationship between axillary bud growth and survival. Results revealed that many roots per cutting accelerated axillary bud growth.  相似文献

SUMMARY

Rooting of leafless winter hardwood cuttings of the plum rootstock Prunus insititia ‘Pixy’ increased as the location from which the shoots were taken from within specially grown stockplants decreased in height above ground, associated with a parallel reduction in shoot thickness. However, the actual height of the least-ready-rooting crown cuttings had no effect on rooting, suggesting that relative rather than absolute position is important. Rooting was unaffected by bark-ringing and trunk incision distal to the shoot position, suggesting that such treatments did not interfere with a basipetally translocated root promotor which might have accounted for improved rooting of cuttings in the lower parts of the hedge. The rooting of crown cuttings above a bark ring was reduced considerably compared with that of cuttings from normal bushes, and this was associated with increased thickness of shoots distal to the ring. Delaying pruning in spring until after growth had started resulted in thinner crown shoots compared with those from plants pruned normally while dormant, and the rooting of these thinner crown shoots was much higher than that of the normal crown cuttings. It was shown by covariance analysis that shoot thickness accounted for part of the rooting response but could not account for the total effect due to shoot position within the bush, ringing, or time of pruning. Competence to root appears to develop independently in individual shoots, modified by a shoot thickness factor which favours the subordinate shoots induced in the shoot hierarchy of severely pruned hedges.  相似文献

Ceylon olive (Elaeocarpus serratus L.; family Elaeocarpaceae) is an under-utilised edible fruit tree that is sparsely distributed in the southern peninsula of the Indian sub-continent. Fresh and ripened fruit are edible and are used to prepare value-added products such as squash, jams and pickles. Methods to produce clonal E. serratus plants using softwood cuttings, air-layers, and grafts were investigated. Softwood cuttings were collected during the wet summer season (June–August) and showed 96.7% rooting success following 2.5 mM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) treatment for 3 h. Hardwood cuttings collected during the wet summer season and subjected to IBA treatment failed to root. The duration of the auxin treatment significantly influenced the rooting percentage of softwood cuttings. Seasonal variations in the rooting response of softwood cuttings was also noted. The wet summer (June–August) was the best season for rooting softwood cuttings. Air-layers of hardwood branches, prepared during the wet summer season by pre-treating with 7.5 mM IBA resulted in 87.1% rooting. The spliced grafting technique could be applied also to elite Ceylon olive clones, with 70% and 50% survival rates of softwood and hardwood grafts, respectively. Ceylon olive could therefore be cloned by adopting these methods. Propagation based on softwood cuttings would facilitate moderate-scale cloning of this valuable, elite germplasm.  相似文献

‘Swingle’ citrumelo [Citrus paradisi MacFaden × Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] has been extensively used as a rootstock in several citrus growing regions of the World, including Southern Brazil where ‘Rangpur’ lime (Citrus limonia Osbeck) is still the predominant variety despite being affected by several important pathogens. In this case, ‘Swingle’ citrumelo is used to produce nursery trees to establish new orchards or to be inarched in adult and healthy groves in order to change the rootstock. We report herein a system to produce trees on ‘Swingle’ citrumelo more rapidly by budding onto non-rooted cuttings, as well as assessing potential to rapidly multiply ‘Swingle’ through rooting of non-budded cuttings. Therefore, two potential products are described: budded trees and rooted rootstock cuttings. ‘Valencia’ sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] was budded at different heights on cuttings derived from eight-month old rootstocks. Grafted and additional non-budded cuttings were then treated with indole-3-butyric acid (500 mg L−1) or left untreated before rooting. Three types of cuttings were evaluated: softwood, semi-hardwood and hardwood. The use of nursery trees derived from pre-budded hardwood cuttings of ‘Swingle’ citrumelo is an alternative grafting method on this cultivar. Softwood cuttings with one leaf pair were considered the most adequate material for rapid multiplication of ‘Swingle’ citrumelo by cutting. This could be particularly useful for inarching production or conventional budding after transplant of cutting-derived rootstocks.  相似文献

The rooting response of plum rootstock hardwood cuttings to 50, 500 and 5000 ppm IBA was influenced by the duration of treatment in the auxin solution, 18 min, 30 sec and 5 sec being needed to achieve similar levels of rooting at the respective concentrations.

A delay between collection and IBA treatment of cuttings, resulting in a partial water deficit, caused an increase in IBA uptake which was associated with increased rooting. For Myrobalan B a delay of 22 hours at 60 °F (15.5 °C) and 50% RH, leading to a 10% moisture loss, was optimal.  相似文献

Rooted cuttings of Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var. M.VII were permitted to grow from a single shoot. This was cut back to 3 cm. and the utilization of the subsequent increment, as leaves, stem and root, was determined. Different batches were treated on 7 occasions–June, July, August and December of the 1st year of the bud’s growth and March, April and June of the 2nd year. Also two further batches were cut back in the 2nd year (June and July) to the base of the 2nd year’s shoots. The growth to the end of the 1st and 2nd years was compared with that of unpruned controls.

In most cases pruning reduced the subsequent increment. Following dormant pruning (December, March, April) this reduction was associated with fewer growing shoots, although the leading shoots might be longer than comparable shoots on the controls. The reduction in increment after pruning leafy shoots was attributed to the loss of leaf and to shortening the effective growing season. Such leafy pruning was equivalent to the loss of ½ to ? of the growing season.

The relative distribution of increment (i.e. increment of the part as a fraction of the total increment) to leaf, stem and root was little affected by pruning. The main effect of pruning occurred within the stem region, where the fraction utilized by the old stem decreased, and by the new stem correspondingly increased, so that the total stem fraction changed very little. A small effect following pruning leafy shoots was that the leaf fraction increased slightly and the new stem decreased.

It is concluded that the different effects of dormant and summer pruning may be attributed to the relative importance at different times of the year of bud inhibition and curtailment of the growing season.  相似文献

In one-node stem cuttings of Eucalyptus granáis the absence of leaves was fatal. The optimum leaf area per leaf for rooting was 2-5 cm2, and in this range rooting was higher in one-leaf than in two-leaf cuttings. Axillary shoots started to develop soon after the cuttings were set and their growth was promoted by the presence of the subtending leaf. Thus, in one-leaf cuttings the shoot in the leafy axil grew, at the expense of the shoot in the defoliated axil, while in two-leaf cuttings the shoot in the upper (sub-opposite) axil tended to grow more quickly. Axillary shoots were also vigorous in cuttings from decapitated and disbudded mother plants. Rapid shoot growth was associated with low rates of abscission of the subtending leaf and relatively high rooting ability. Removing axillary shoots from cuttings accelerated leaf abscission and reduced rooting. The stem of the cutting often swelled and discoloured from the base, apparently due to the demand of the cutting for water. Additional leaf wounds had no effect on rooting (but increased mortality), while immersing cuttings in water before setting, or leaving them in a loose heap on the propagation bench, promoted rooting.  相似文献

Summary

The essential oil yields and expression of related characters were compared for seven cultivar genotypes of menthol mint Mentha arvensis using two methods of planting in the winter rabi – summer season (October to July) in a sub-tropical agroclimatic environment. The crops of all the cultivars were planted in the field by (1) sowing of suckers on 2 January and (2) transplanting germinated pieces of sucker at different times between 17 March to 14 April. Staggering of transplanting time up to 7 April did not affect oil yields and the related plant growth properties of mint crops. The oil yields of the crops planted on 14 April were lower by about 30%. In the early sucker planted crops, the oil yields were about 30% higher than those obtained from the transplanted crops of 17 March to 7 April and about double that obtained from crops transplanted on 14 April. The oil yields from the crops of the superior genotype Kosi were equal to or higher than the corresponding means of all genotypes under both planting methods. The oil yield from the crops of Kosi genotype obtained by sucker sowing method was estimated as 333 kg ha–1. The corresponding average yield from the crops of this genotype obtained by transplanting of germinated suckers between 17 March and 7 April was about 293 kg ha–1 and that from the crop transplanted on 14 April was 218 kg ha–1. With the Kosi genotype, the latter two types of transplanted mint crops gave oil yields lower only by about 12% and 33% compared with the long-duration sucker-sown crop. It is concluded that a crop of mustard (brassica), Bengalgram (chickpea) or wheat sown between October and November and harvested between early March to middle of April could be taken before cropping of the Kosi genotype of M. arvensis by plantlet transplanting. These results demonstrate the potential of the following rotation of crops in the sub-tropical environments: from June/July/August to October/November (kharif cropping season), rice, maize, sorghum or pigeonpea; from November/December to February/March, mustard and Bengalgram or from November/December to April (rabi cropping season), wheat; from March/April to June/July (zaid cropping season), transplanted menthol mint.  相似文献

Optimum conditions for rooting hardwood cuttings of several plum rootstocks have been determined with respect to season of cutting collection, the thickness of shoot and the part of the shoot used as the cutting, the concentration of rooting hormone applied to the base of the cutting and the basal temperature in the rooting medium.

Rooting occurred most readily during autumn and again in late winter and spring. Cuttings made from “thin” shoots generally rooted more readily than those from “thick” ones but the position along the shoot from which the cutting was made was usually unimportant.

Some clones, including Myrobalan B and St. Julien A, responded to increasing concentrations of 4(indolyl-3) butyric acid (IBA) to an optimum at 5,000 p.p.m. and to increasing bottom heat to about 20° C. Others, including Brompton and Pershore, were relatively unresponsive to both of these factors under the conditions of these experiments.  相似文献

An additional wound at the base of one-node stem cuttings of Eucalyptus grandis increased rooting. Girdling intact shoots reduced rooting in cuttings harvested from them, while girdling cuttings at setting had little effect, suggesting that the internal phloem was active in basipetal transport in the stem. The vertical distribution of roots in additionally wounded cuttings also suggested a changed pattern of efflux from the internal phloem, as well as an increase in water uptake. In one-leaf cuttings more roots emerged from the leaf trace sector of the stem than from the trace of the absent leaf. In two-leaf cuttings the circumferential distribution of roots was uniform except in cuttings (a) reduced to a half-round cross-section at the base, in which rooting was more profuse at the lower of two sites of root emergence, and (b) from lateral coppice shoots whose stems were red-pigmented above with anthocyanins, in which there was less rooting than expected in the red sector. Stem volume was well related to rooting ability, largely explaining variation due to the original position of the cutting within the shoot and crown.  相似文献

In this study we investigated the potential usefulness of different substrates produced from gorse (Ulex europaeus L.) for propagating cuttings of Thuja plicata ‘Atrovirens’. The gorse was composted by different methods, to produce four types of compost. These composts were then used as such (100% compost) or in mixes with coarse sand and pine bark compost (25% compost, 25% coarse sand and 50% pine bark compost, v/v/v) to prepare eight different substrates. The substrates were compared in cutting propagation trials carried out in a greenhouse, with a standard rooting medium consisting of 25% Sphagnum peat moss, 25% coarse sand and 50% pine bark compost (v/v/v). Cuttings were taken from a garden hedge in March 2003, and comprised shoots of the previous year's growth. The bases of the cuttings were treated with a 0.4% solution of IBA rooting hormone, then inserted into cells filled with the corresponding substrate and placed on a propagation bench. Rooting percentage and visual rooting score were determined in July. The quality of roots was evaluated, as total root length and number of root tips, in July, September and November 2003, by use of a Delta-T Scan system. The rooting success of the cuttings ranged from 75% to 90%, except when the substrate comprised the pure composted gorse, obtained after the shorter period in an enclosed composting system with addition of fertilizer and reuse of leachates. Most of the cuttings in this substrate died and only 4% of the cuttings rooted successfully. Physicochemical characteristics of this rooting medium included very high electrical conductivity, low C/N ratio and high water retention. Addition of coarse sand and pine bark compost to the composted gorse significantly increased the rooting success. The root quality variables differed depending on the substrate considered and date of harvest. The results showed that substrates made from gorse compost are of potential use as a peat substitute for propagating cuttings of T. plicata ‘Atrovirens’. The physicochemical properties of the composted gorse should be determined before its use to establish whether it can be used pure as a substrate for rooting or whether it should be mixed with other substances.  相似文献
