e0“rooting capacity was modelled best by linear combinations of the widths of the pith, non-lignified secondary xylem, cortical parenchyma and periderm, as well as the percentage of gaps in the sclerenchymatic sheath remaining non-sclerified.”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Stem anatomy changed with age and stockplant treatment.
- Observation Etiolation affected lignification of secondary xylem and periderm thickness.
- Observation Etiolation increased sclereid free gaps in perivascular sclerenchyma.
- Observation Stem banding increased cortex and pith widths.
- Observation Etiolation significantly affected rooting percentages and root numbers.
- Observation Shading significantly affected rooting percentages and root numbers.
- Observation Banding significantly affected rooting percentages and root numbers.
- Mechanism The authors proposed that sclereid development at potential rooting sites reduces rooting potential.
- Observation Excluding light retarded sclereid development by up to 3 months.
- Observation Etiolated or banded stems had increased rooting potential.
