The promotive effect of gibberellic acid on the production of adventitious roots on stem cuttings of Ipomoea fistulosa

Planta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Treatment with gibberellic acid (GA3) enhances the number of adventitious roots and the number and length of sprouted buds on stem cuttings of Ipomoea fistulosa. Such simultaneous promotion of both rooting and sprouting is in contrast to most earlier reports on the effect of GA3 on these processes.
