Study on Rooting Development of Cuttings from Taxus wallichiana and Machilus longipedicellata
Taken current year growing branches from 3 years old Taxus wallichiana and Machilus longipedicellata samplings as experimental materials,the effects of different hormone treatments and different cutting parts of T.wallichiana and M.longipedicellata on the rooting capacity were studied.Results showed that the growth characteristics of T.wallichiana seedlings were better than that of M.longipedicellata and the difference was significant.Under different hormone and part treatments conditions,the cuttings rooting rate of T.wallichiana were higher than that of M.longipedicellata.The optimal combination of T.wallichiana and M.longipedicellata samplings was the Tip +0.75 g/L ABT2 +0.50 g/L ABT3,the rooting rate was up to 65.6% and 48.9% respectively under different hormone treatments.
