Seasonal fluctuation of root carbohydrates in hybrid aspen clones and its relationship to the sprouting efficiency of root cuttings

Abstract: We examined the relationship between root carbohydrates and sprouting efficiency in four hybrid aspen ( Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides ) clones. Our hypothesis was that the interclonal variation in sprouting efficiency is due to the concentration of carbohydrates. In addition to that relationship, we wanted to study seasonal fluctuation of carbohydrates and how the –18 °C storage conditions of stock plants affects the stability of carbohydrate content and thus sprouting ability of roots cuttings. Clones… Show more

“…Thick stems produce a larger number of roots which would promote water and nutrients uptake, necessary for plant development. Similar results were obtained in hybrid aspen clones regeneration (Stenvall et al 2009) and in clonal propagation of Detarium microcarpum (Guill. & Perr.)…”

“…This emphasises the importance of the physiological state of the stockplant (Leakey 2014a) and while this is well known, it is still often overlooked by people starting to propagate tree species by cuttings. The failure of cuttings gathered from lateral branches of mature trees to root, especially when leafless, is a common phenomenon attributable to several factors like the age-related physiology and morphology of donor plants and their phenology (Stenvall et al 2004(Stenvall et al , 2009Snedden et al 2010;Teklehaimanot et al 2012); including factors such as plant carbohydrate and nutrient contents and the content of growth regulators (Maile and Nieuwenhuis 2010;Ky-Dembele et al 2010;Dick and Leakey 2006).…”

“…Heller (1985) cit. Sanoussi et al (2012) argues that the carbohydrate content is high in the roots during the rainy season, but these reserves are transported to the collar or the surface roots at the beginning of periods of stress such as the dry season (Stenvall et al, 2009). The follow up of RSC plants transferred to the field since 2012 shown that no plant has flowed yet.…”

“…Esse aumento do enraizamento, com a presença de folhas nas estacas, pode ter sido ocasionado também pela síntese de carboidratos na fotossíntese e de outras substâncias que são importantes no processo de formação de raízes, o que estimula a atividade de troca e a diferenciação celular necessárias para o sucesso do enraizamento (Stenvall et al, 2009). Estacas de cedro-australiano podem emitir raízes sem o uso de AIB, desde que mantidos os folíolos, mas o enraizamento pode aumentar com uso de AIB.…”
