Abstract

Indol‐3yl‐acetic acid (IAA) present in the rooting solution for 1–4 days appreciably decreased the number of roots subsequently formed in pea stem cuttings. Removal of the lowest 10 mm of the cutting base after IAA treatment abolished the inhibitory effect of IAA almost completely. The number of roots formed from the remaining part of the base internode after excision of the basal centimeter of the internode 4 days after the cuttings were taken was similar to that of the control. It is concluded that the first root primordia, which develop near the cut surface, have an inhibitory influence on development of further roots. The inhibitory effect of IAA may be explained as a strengthening of this dominance phenomenon. Addition of charcoal to the rooting solution delayed the appearance of roots but increased the number of roots developed during a standard rooting period. Adsorption of stimulatory and inhibitory compounds at the surface of the cutting base is believed to be the reason for these results as no evidence of accumulation of inhibitory compounds in the solution was obtained. Charcoal reversed the inhibitory effect of IAA if added after the IAA treatment. This reversal was almost complete if the IAA treatment lasted for one day only but decreased drastically if the IAA treatment was extended over 4 days.
