Adventitious root formation promoter, rooting medium containing adventitious root formation promoter, and production method for clone seedlings using adventitious root formation promoter
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chemical compound that is useful as an active constituent in an adventitious root formation promoter for promoting the formation of roots by a plant and improving the rooting rate thereof. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a rooting method and rooting medium for improving the production of clone seedlings, particularly clone seedlings of plant species that exhibit a poor rooting ability, by means of cuttage and tissue culture methods, said rooting method and rooting medium employing an adventitious root formation enhancer comprising the active constituent. The present invention relates to an adventitious root formation enhancer for apamin-containing plants, a medium for rooting plant shoots containing the adventitious root enhancer, and a method of production for clone seedlings using the adventitious root enhancer or rooting medium.
