“…Stem cuttings with 4-8 internodes were harvested early in the morning from ten years vigorous mother stocks at TaCRI nursery. To minimize stress, the stem cuttings were prepared under shade into three nodes with six leaves as described by Twardowski et al (2012). Leaves were cut half to reduce water loss by transpiration (Rezende et al, 2010;TaCRI, 2011).…”

The study was conducted on-station at Tanzania Coffee Research Institute to evaluate the effect of stem cuttings position along the mother plants on rooting of hybrid coffee varieties. Stem cuttings were assessed in a rooting medium of forest soil and sand at a ratio of 2:1 by volume under semi-controlled environment. A split plot experiment in a randomized complete block design with four replications was used. The main factor was five Arabica coffee varieties and the sub-factor consisted of four types of position of stem cuttings, namely base, middle, apex and control (mixture). Four months after planting, stem cuttings were evaluated for root growth characteristics. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using CoStat software and treatment means were separated based on Tukey's test at (P ≤ 0.05). Results obtained indicate that positions of stem cuttings along the mother plant had a significant effect (P = 0.04) on rooting of coffee varieties with stem cuttings taken from basal and middle positions having the highest rooting percentage with varieties N39-1 and KP423-2 having the highest rooting percentage. Further, interaction between varieties and position of stem cuttings significantly (P = 0.04) affected the rooting percentage and the number of lateral roots at (P = 0.01). The results from this study indicate that clonal multiplication of coffee stems cuttings is affected by varieties and position taken along the mother plant. Further studies are required to determine yield performance of the stem cuttings in relation to their positions along the mother plants.

“…A higher number of roots can result in higher root surface area and, as such, higher root volume and capacity of the newly formed plant to absorb nutrients and exploit the substrate, enabling higher assimilate partitioning and faster growth, survival, and acclimatization ex situ. To this end, high root volume in cuttings has been correlated with root surface area and quality of rooted cuttings in herbaceous perennials (Twardoski et al, 2012).…”

Asexual propagation for sustainable utilization of Greek indigenous germplasm of common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea L.), a neglected but noteworthy ornamental and nutraceutical species

The common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea L., Cornaceae) across the European continent represents a species with validated ornamental and nutraceutical value that has been utilized by humans for thousands of years but has been abandoned during modern times. It still represents however, a valuable but neglected native germplasm resource. The development of an asexual propagation protocol as a first step towards utilization of Greek C. sanguinea germplasm is presented herein for the first time. Plant material was collected from C. sanguinea‘s natural habitat during winter dormancy (hardwood cuttings) as well as during early vegetative growth (softwood cuttings). The propagation protocol was developed through preliminary trials for the successful propagation of the material sourced directly from the wild to establish enough starting material (ex situ adapted mother plants); consecutively, cutting propagation experiments over a two-year period coupled with early plant growth and survival assessment were conducted. The results showed that the use of external indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) rooting hormone application between 2,000 and 4,000 ppm delivered very high rooting rates (80-100%) via the use of primary softwood, leafy cuttings with minimum amount of lignification under mist. The proposed protocol is considered fast, reliable, easy to implement and economically viable. The study provides first time data on domestication and propagation of Greek C. sanguinea germplasm and at the same time paves the way for further research on the sustainable utilization of this species.
