PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently produce cutting seedlings of plants of the genus Eucalyptus by selecting and obtaining scions with a high rooting ability.SOLUTION: Such a cutting seedling that the cross sectional area of a scion is in the range from 4.5 mm2 to 20.5 mm2, and that the rate of a wood portion is in the range from 0.15 to 0.48 is used. By using these criteria for selection, the rooting ability of the scion is extremely 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】挿し穂の断面積が4.5mm2以上20.5mm2以下かつ、木部の比率が0.15以上0.48以下を有するものを用いる。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
