PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the efficient production of the cutting seedling of a plant belonging to the genus Eucalyptus by selecting and obtaining cutting scions having high rooting capacity.SOLUTION: The parent tree treated with a plant growth regulator is prepared, and the scions collected therefrom, having a cross section of the scions of not less than 5.6 mm2 and not more than 23.0 mm2, and a wood part ratio of the same of not less than 0.10 and not more than 0.45, can be utilized. By using these two selection criteria, the rooting capacity of the scions becomes very high.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】高発根能を有する挿し穂を選抜、取得することでユーカリ属植物の効率的な挿し木苗生産を可能とする。【解決手段】植物成長調整剤で処理した母樹を作り、そこから採取した挿し穂の断面積が5.6mm2以上23.0mm2以下であり、かつ木部の比率が0.10以上0.45以下である挿し穂を用いる。この両者の選抜基準を用いれば、挿し穂の発根能は極めて高くなる。【選択図】なし
