A Botanical Briefing on Root Abnormalities and Non-Vegetative Propagation
Journal Title: Bulletin of Pure and Applied Sciences Sec. B –Botany - Year 2018, Vol 37, Issue 2
Abstract
Since field performance of nursery, commercial and garden plants are affected by environmental factors, there are many resultant features as a result of vegetative and non-vegetative propagation. In Castanea sativa, Pinus patula and Eucalyptus spp, these features are seen at the gravitropic, or root, level. Root abnormalities induced due to non-vegetative means affect field performance of all plants, even mesophytes. In this botanical briefing, root abnormalities and non-vegetative propagation in the mentioned plants would be touched on, and emphasis will be focussed on a more widely view that includes farming practices that could help improve productivity in the future (2050), as well as the commercial significance of non-vegetative propagation.
