    Auxin regulates adventitious root formation in tomato cuttings
    (Springer Nature, 2019-10-21) Guan, Ling; Tayengwa, Reuben; Cheng, Zongming (Max); Peer, Wendy Ann; Murphy, Angus S.; Zhao, Mizhen
    Adventitious root (AR) formation is a critical developmental process in cutting propagation for the horticultural industry. While auxin has been shown to regulate this process, the exact mechanism and details preceding AR formation remain unclear. Even though AR and lateral root (LR) formation share common developmental processes, there are exist some differences that need to be closely examined at the cytological level. Tomato stem cuttings, which readily form adventitious roots, represent the perfect system to study the influence of auxin on AR formation and to compare AR and LR organogenesis.
