Pretreatment of stock plants with cycocel or ethrel induced rooting on cuttings and air layers of mango (Mangifera indica L.), a difficult-to-root fruit plant which normally does not regenerate roots. Application of IBA to the cuttings and air layers made from pretreated shoots improved rooting, cycocel pretreatment being more effective than ethrel. Morphactin pretreatment inhibited rooting, fully counteracting the auxin-induced rooting. © 1979.

Effect of pretreatment of stock plants of mango with cycocel, ethrel and morphactin on the rooting of cuttings and air layers

Scientia Horticulturae

Preplanting application of phenolic compounds, p-hydroxybenzoic acid p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid, in most cases promoted auxin-induced rooting on cuttings of mango, a difficult-to-root fruit plant. The ethylene-releasing chemical CEPA (ethrel, ethephon) also stimulated rooting in the presence of auxins. Synergism was more pronounced in the presence of IBA than with IAA. To a certain extent, root-promoting effects of auxins and non-auxin chemicals were related to the utilization of carbohydrate fractions from the region of root formation. Utilization of reserve polysaccharides assumed greater importance only during the root-development phase. © 1978.
