Acceleration of root formation and growth of cuttings.
Root formation may be stimulated by application of growth-promoting chemicals or growth hormones.
Adventitious root formation was best in WPM basal medium.
Wilmoth, J. C. et al. NPH4/ARF7 and ARF19 promote leaf expansion and auxin-induced lateral root formation.
Adventitious Root Formation in Stem Cuttings of Quercus bicolor and Quercus macrocarpa and Its Relationship to Stem Anatomy.
However, adventitious root formation may be influenced by the cutting position.
Lateral root formation is a major determinant of root systems architecture.
Clinically, revascularization procedures render completion of root formation in immature teeth.
Okushima, Y., Fukaki, H., Onoda, M., Theologis, A. & Tasaka, M. ARF7 and ARF19 regulate lateral root formation via direct activation of LBD/ASL genes in Arabidopsis.
In addition to their antioxidant properties, flavonoids have been shown to negatively regulate auxin transport, affecting shoot branching, lateral root formation and root gravitropism33.
Moreover, there exists partially overlapping genetic networks shared during lateral and adventitious root formation.
