Explain the Factors Affecting Root Regeneration

  

Answers


Felix
1.The formation of adventitious roots is induced by various stem treatments:
>Girdling or wounding of a small part of the stem, resulting to the interruption of the downward movement of organic materials such as carbohydrates, auxin and other growth factors from the leaves and shoot tips. These materials accumulate close to the treated area and rooting follows.
>Continuing availability of moisture, sufficient supply of oxygen (aeration), and moderate temperature.
>Application of rooting hormone to the injured stem. This can be applied in powder form, lanolin, or as a dilute solution.

2.Plant species
>Plants which can be propagated using stem cuttings will also root through air layering
Prostrate stems of some plants which naturally root at the point of contact with the soil indicate that these plants can be easily rooted using this method, as with stem cuttings.
