Abstract

Rooting responses by 7-day-old mung bean cuttings to indoleacetic acid (IAA) and rooting cofactor substances from Pelargonium were studied. Increasing concentrations of IAA (30–120 mg/l) were shown to induce increasing numbers of adventitious roots (10–100 roots per cutting). Fractionated methanolic extracts from Pelargonium tissue promoted rooting in the presence of IAA but no significant effect was detected when the extracts were assayed alone. This rooting cofactor activity was attributed to components tentatively identified as phenolic by reactions with chromogenic reagents.
