Adventitious root organization is crucial process during the clonal proliferation of numerous plant types. Its role is indispensable in the preservation and propagation of rare and finest germplasm of forest and horticulture plant varieties. Induction of adventitious roots requires a systemic expression of multiple genes, which are regulated via a convoluted network of various internal and external (environmental) factors. Among all the limiting factors, the level of maturity has the most severe impact on the regenerative ability of trees, i.e., their regenerative ability decreases with increasing age. The rooting capacity is often relinquished during the process of juvenile (immature)-phase to mature-phase transition in forest plants. This decline in regeneration potential reduces the rooting ability and vigor of excised plants. Maturation-stimulated alteration (decline) of rooting potential is one of the prime reasons, which restricts the …
