Progress on Study of Rooting Mechanism of Tea Cuttings
Formation of adventitious roots is crucial for successful tea cutting. It can be affected by a variety of factors.To study the rooting mechanism can help understand, as well as improve, the complex process of tea cutting. This article reviews the reports published in China and abroad relating to the mechanism of the adventitious root formation with respect to the tea anatomy, physiology, biochemistry(i.e., plant hormones, enzymes and nutrients) andmolecular biology. The comprehensive research will hasten the technological and agricultural advancements on the propagation and survival of tea cuttings in practice, as well as for theoretical reference.
