Still another example of auxin at work is evident when you
are trying to root a stem or leaf cutting. Plants that contain relatively high levels of
auxin in their tissues usually root easily—that is, they will readily form
adventitious roots from stem or leaf tissue. Cuttings from plants with lower levels of
auxin may be slow to form roots; the cuttings will often form roots sooner if an
artificial rooting compound, or synthetic auxin, is applied. |
