Grafting is an important method to improve plant yield and quality. The rootstock is vital to
the scion in terms of growth and development, flowering and fruit set, and improved stress …

Biofertilizers are a key component of organic agriculture. Bacterial biofertilizers enhance
plant growth through a variety of mechanisms, including soil compound mobilization and …

Callus formation at the cutting base is an interesting and common phenomenon in cuttings;
however, little is known of histology and hormonal dynamics during the adventitious root …

Nitrogen (N) is the main nutrient element limiting plant growth and crop yield. Plant proline-
rich proteins (PRPs) are a group of structural proteins that are rich in proline and …

Magnolia wufengensis, a rare ornamental tree species, is now in a huge gap between
market demand and actual supply of seedlings. As cutting propagation is one of the most …

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are signalling molecules that regulate
adventitious rooting in plants. However, little is known about the cross-talk between NO and …

Tilia mandshurica is recognized as one of the most valuable timber, ornamental and
nectariferous tree species, and its cutting propagation is very difficult. To evaluate the …

Bougainvillea, a widely used ornamental plant, is mainly propagated by cuttings and tissue
culture. Still, large-scale production of Bougainvillea is often difficult because of rooting …

The regulation of endogenous hormones in seed germination and dormancy has been
discussed widely in Arabidopsis and crops species, but wild species are rarely examined. In …

Auxin response factors (ARFs) play a crucial role in regulating gene expression within the
auxin signal transduction pathway, particularly during adventitious root (AR) formation. In …
