Abstract

Stem segments of Populus nigra L. did not root in water or auxin alone but did so in 0.5% ribose, glucose and sucrose, sucrose being most effective. The addition of 0.1 mg/1 IAA or IBA to the medium stimulated rooting; IBA being more effective. Starch also induced rooting especially in combination with auxins. Starch was hydrolysed by enzymes that leached out of the segments and auxins enhanced their activity.
