Verbatim
e0“an increase in the number of roots per cutting was obtained at increasing concentrations of sucrose when the stock plants had been grown at 4 W m −2 and their cotyledons had been removed two days before the cuttings were excised.”

Title
Influence of Cotyledon Excision and Sucrose on Root Formation in Pea Cuttings
BJARKE VEIERSKOV; JÜRGEN HANSEN; ARNE SKYTT ANDERSEN Physiologia Plantarum 1976. doi:10.1111/j.1399-3054.1976.tb03917.x
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Sucrose supplied to intact pea stock plants did not significantly affect cutting rooting at any irradiance.
- Intervention effect Cotyledon removal reduced roots per pea cutting, with reduction related to time without cotyledons and irradiance.
- Intervention effect Cotyledon removal reduced roots per cutting more under 4 W m −2 than 38 W m −2.
- Association Stock-plant growth depended on irradiance and timing of cotyledon removal.
- Association Cutting stem growth depended on stock-plant irradiance and timing of cotyledon removal.
- Intervention effect Exogenous sucrose did not affect pea cutting stem growth.
