Endogenous indole-3-acetic acid during adventitious root formation inPopulus £canadensis Moench.
- 1 Institute of Landscape Ecology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Brno, Czech Republic
Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), phenylacetic acid (PAA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) were applied at a concentration of 10-4 mol dm-3 to stem cutting bases ofPopulus x canadensis Moench. During adventitious root formation, the content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in cutting bases was estimated using the fluorimetric method. In the control variant, a rapid increase in endogenous IAA appeared after 24-h cultivation followed by gradual decrease during the following days. In contrast, the variants treated with IBA, PAA, and especially NAA exhibited firstly a decrease in endogenous IAA content and only afterwards an increase, reaching a maximum 48 h after excision. As root regeneration proceeded gradually, a decrease in the level of endogenous IAA occurred in all treatments. The first adventitious roots appeared in all treatments after 216-h cultivation.
