The influence of leaves and buds on the rooting ability of cv. Gordal olive cuttings, under mist was studied. Presence of leaves significantly favoured callus and root formation and decreased or inhibited the outgrowth of buds to shoot. Lack of leaves significantly decreased or inhibited the rooting and enhanced shooting of buds, even when lateral buds were detached. Presence of lateral buds did not affect the rooting process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
