Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) treatment improves rooting of easy-to-root and moderate-rooting olive cultivars, but does not stimulate root formation in hard-to-root cultivars. The rate of root formation in olive cuttings is slow and a source of carbohydrates is required to maintain and improve the effect of IBA. Sucrose treatment applied together with IBA and several times thereafter improved all rooting parameters: rooting percentage, number of adventitious roots and root length. During rooting, photosynthesis in the cuttings is very low and has almost no effect on the carbohydrate content, so that starch appears to be the major source of carbohydrates. Amyloplast levels decline during rooting and IBA increases the rate of their disappearance. A significant percentage of rooted olive cuttings collapse during their hardening process, when no starch pool is available. Only photosynthesis of fully-expanded leaves can contribute to the source of the carbohydrates needed by the rooted plants. However, when the top growth is reduced, as often occurs in IBA-treated cuttings, the carbohydrate supply may not be enough to keep the rooted plants alive and to support their growth and development. The data suggest that carbohydrates have an important role in rooting and improve the stimulatory effect of IBA in this process. During the stages involved in the formation of adventitious roots the endogenous carbohydrate pool is the main source of carbohydrates, while in young rooted plants the main source comes directly from the photosynthesis.

The influences of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations of 0–30 mg·g−1 on the success and speed of adventitious root development of Zamia furfuracea L.f. and Zamia integrifolia L.f. stem cuttings were determined. Root formation success for both species was greater than 95%. The IBA concentrations did not influence the speed of root development for Z. furfuracea, but the Z. integrifolia cuttings that received IBA concentration of 3 mg·g−1 generated adventitious roots more slowly than the cuttings in the control group. The ending dry weights of the stems, leaves, and roots were not influenced by IBA concentration for either species. Our results indicated that adventitious root formation on stem cuttings of these two Zamia species is successful without horticultural application of IBA. Additional IBA studies are needed on the other 300+ cycad species, especially those that are in a threatened category.

In this work, the results of evaluating the differences in the variants of the three-factor experiment on rooting of varieties of Barberry Thunberg (Berberis thunbergii DC.) By factors: varietal characteristics, the number of nodes and the use of a root formation regulator are considered. The study involved cuttings of the following varieties: ‘Dart’s Red Lädy’, ‘Kobold’, ‘Golden Ring’, ‘Harlequin’, ‘Rosetta’, ‘Red Chief’ and ‘Aurea’. 4- (indol-3-yl) butyric acid (trademark "Kornevin") was used as a root formation stimulator by the method of dusting. The green cuttings had 2 and 3 knots. The results of analysis of variance on the variability of the average total root length in green cuttings depending on varietal characteristics, dusting with a root formation stimulator and the number of nodes made it possible to establish that the ‘Red Chief’ variety had the maximum average total root length and was significantly different from all other varieties. The average total length of roots when using a root formation stimulator is significantly higher than in the control variant. Cuttings with three nodes reliably had a large average total root length. Based on the results obtained, it is assumed that the use of a root formation stimulator and rooting of cuttings with three nodes has a positive effect on the rooting processes of barberry cuttings.

Shoots of one-year-old Populus trichocarpa Torr. and Gray were collected just after breaking of dormancy from a nursery at Lulu Island, B. C. The shoots were divided into four sections of equal length and placed in an atmosphere of 100% relative humidity at a constant temperature of 4 °C. After one month the quarters were sampled to determine the number and length of adventitious roots formed and the number of new shoots. Significant differences were found in the number and length of roots produced in different quarters of the shoot but not in the number of new shoots. There were also significant differences in root length between clones. The most numerous and longest roots occurred on the lowest quarter of the shoot and decreased acropetally. The data suggest the better performance of cuttings of P. trichocarpa from the lower portions of the shoot and the importance of vigor in individual clones.

Relevance. At present in the region the range of potatoes does not meet modern phytosanitary requirements, there is a decrease in potato yield over a long period of time. [1–6, 14]. Modern biotechnology techniques have undeniable advantages and allow for the early development of potato starting material to determine future crop crossing patterns. Effective implementation of such works is ensured by careful selection of accounts and observations of the growth and development of potato clones.Methods. The material is potato clones in vitro. The aim of these studies is to study the growth and development of potato plants in vitro in microlonal reproduction.Results. As a result, the influence of signs of correlation relationships in plants-regenerants of potatoes of 6 varieties (Lubava, Ilinsky, Rodrigo, Handsome, Alvara and Velikan) on the indicators of development of the above-ground part of the plant (height of plants and number of intersections), as well as indicators of rhizogenesis (number and length of roots) was found. Both the positive relationship of the characteristics of the number of intersections, the height of plants, and the negative relationship of the characteristics in potato varieties under in vitro conditions have been established here. With higher plant height, there is a tendency to increase the number of intersections, the biomass of the plant, and the length of the roots in the varieties Handsome, Alvara, Rodrigo. The Great variety did not show a direct relationship between plant height and the mass of leaves, stems. The standard Lubava variety reflected a weakly negative relationship between plant height and root length. The variety Ilinsky did not depend on the height of the plants and the length of the roots, which cannot be noted in the varieties Handsome, Rodrigo and Alvara. According to the selected varieties, the largest correlation coefficient of plant height and root length is observed in Beauty variety (r = 0.69), then in Alvar variety (r = 0.43), Rodrigo variety (r = 0.20). The remaining varieties had a weak correlation.

Abstract Background Olive orchards are threatened by a wide range of pathogens. Of these, Verticillium dahliae has been in the spotlight for its high incidence, the difficulty to control it and the few cultivars that has increased tolerance to the pathogen. Disease resistance not only depends on detection of pathogen invasion and induction of responses by the plant, but also on barriers to avoid the invasion and active resistance mechanisms constitutively expressed in the absence of the pathogen. In a previous work we found that two healthy non-infected plants from cultivars that differ in V. dahliae resistance such as ‘Frantoio’ (resistant) and ‘Picual’ (susceptible) had a different root morphology and gene expression pattern. In this work, we have addressed the issue of basal differences in the roots between Resistant and Susceptible cultivars. Results The gene expression pattern of roots from 29 olive cultivars with different degree of resistance/susceptibility to V. dahliae was analyzed by RNA-Seq. However, only the Highly Resistant and Extremely Susceptible cultivars showed significant differences in gene expression among various groups of cultivars. A set of 421 genes showing an inverse differential expression level between the Highly Resistant to Extremely Susceptible cultivars was found and analyzed. The main differences involved higher expression of a series of transcription factors and genes involved in processes of molecules importation to nucleus, plant defense genes and lower expression of root growth and development genes in Highly Resistant cultivars, while a reverse pattern in Moderately Susceptible and more pronounced in Extremely Susceptible cultivars were observed. Conclusion According to the different gene expression patterns, it seems that the roots of the Extremely Susceptible cultivars focus more on growth and development, while some other functions, such as defense against pathogens, have a higher expression level in roots of Highly Resistant cultivars. Therefore, it seems that there are constitutive differences in the roots between Resistant and Susceptible cultivars, and that susceptible roots seem to provide a more suitable environment for the pathogen than the resistant ones.

The aim of this work was to study the effects of soluble aluminium on the morphology and growth of the adventitious root system, aerial biomass and grain yield of maize (Zea mays). The analysis focuses on two hybrid cultivars (Al-sensitive HS7777 and Al-tolerant C525M). Experiments were carried out in the field and in a rhizotron in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. In the field, four levels of lime application were used: T0 = 0 t ha−1, T1 = 3.5 t ha−1, T2 = 7.0 t ha−1, and T3 = 10.5 t ha−1. Two levels were used in a rhizotron: T0 and T3. In the surface horizon (0–15 cm), the Al concentrations of the soil solution were: T0 = 15, T1 = 5.1, T2 = 4.4, and T3 = 3.1 μM. In the field, neither Al concentration in the soil solution nor cultivar affected the number of primary adventitious roots per internode or the total number of primary adventitious roots. However, root diameter, plant population and grain yield of the two cultivars confirmed the differences in Al tolerance between them. Al was observed to have an adverse effect on the grain yield from C525M, while low yields from HS7777, at all levels of Al, precluded any response to liming. In the rhizotron studies, Al concentration and cultivar affected the root branching and total root length. Cultivar C525M had more branches and total root length than HS7777, mainly at low concentrations of soil Al solution, leading to greater spatial colonization of the soil down to 0.9 m depth.

The objective of this work was to evaluate root and nodule soybean lipoxygenases in Doko cultivar and in a near isogenic line lacking seed lipoxygenases, inoculated and uninoculated with Bradyrhizobium elkanii. The lipoxygenase activities from roots collected at 3, 5, 9, 13, 18 and 28 days post-inoculation and from nodules collected at 13, 18 and 28 days post-inoculation were measured. The pH-activity profiles from root and nodules suggested that the lipoxygenases pool expressed in these organs from Doko cultivar and triple-null near isogenic lines are similar. The root lipoxygenase activity of Doko and triple-null lines, inoculated and uninoculated, reduced over time. The highest lipoxygenase activity observed at the beginning of root formation suggests the involvement of this enzyme in growth and development of this organ. However, for nodules an expressive increase of lipoxygenase activity was noticed 28 days post-inoculation. Root and nodule showed, at least, two mobility groups for lipoxygenases in immunoblottings, with approximately 94 and 97 kDa.

King grass is parenenial plant that grow slower then elephant grass.  The growth and development of the  plant breed effected by development of the clone so that some efforts must be taken  to stimulate germinative  development of king grass. The research purposed to know how for the level of IBA  consentration and immersion period of the slip of plant has an effect  toward the growth of germination of king grass. Complete randomizet design of factorial type 3 x 3 and Duncan’s multiple range test, were used in the experiment. The treatments  were used  in the eksperiment: K1 (100 ppm of concentration), K2 (200 ppm of concentration), K3 (300 ppm of concentration), W1 (one hours of immersion  period), W2 (two hours of immersion  period), W3 (Three hours of immersion  period). The result of this research  showed that amount the treatments gave significant effect to the percentation of buds, number of buds, height of plant, number of roots, length of root. Nevertheless, there  was an inccclination that the more  the height of consentration  level was given, the result would better than the research. It can be concluded that the level of IBA consentration and immersion period  had a positive effect influences which from the  average result obtained K3W3 gave the heighest percentation of buds appear, number of buds, height of plant and length of roots. While persentation  of buds to appear, number of buds, height of buds and the lowest roots length founded in K1W1.

Temporal variations in the rooting ability of cuttings from five clones of Populusbalsamifera L. and five populations of Salixplanifolia Pursh from the Great Whale River valley in subarctic Quebec were determined. Cuttings were sampled monthly from May through October and rooted in a greenhouse. Root number and length of the longest root per cutting were determined 35 days after planting. There were significant variations among the six sampling dates in the rooting potential of cuttings of both species. A higher percentage of cuttings formed adventitious roots in May and June before or shortly after bud break than later, during the growing season; root number and length followed a similar trend. There was an increase in the rooting ability of cuttings of both species towards the fall period. Salixplanifolia produced more roots per cutting than P. balsamifera early in the season (i.e., May and June), but later in the season the differences between the two species were not great; root length showed no such trend. Differences among clones–populations in the rooting potential of cuttings were large for both species. Coefficients of variation for root number were lower in spring than later, during the growing season, for both P. balsamifera and S. planifolia. Seasonal trends in coefficients of variation for root length were not as evident as for root number. These results have significant implications for site restoration in the Subarctic. To optimize the rooting ability of cuttings and minimize the differences among clones–populations in rooting potential, cuttings should be sampled early in the season before bud break or shortly thereafter.
