Abstract

Abstract Zamiifolia (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is an ornamental and perennial medicinal plant, which belongs to Araceae family. This plant holds a prominent place in the economic significance of this particular plant family. This study aimed to examine the process of root development and rhizome production through leaf cuttings of zamiifoliain the this experiment. This experiment was conducted as factorial design within a completely randomized framework design with three replications. Experimental treatments composed of chitosan application at three levels (0, 250 and 500 mg L-1), and the positioning of leaflet cuttings along the main axis of the mother leaf (apical, middle, and basal). After the application of the treatments, the leaflet cuttings were subjected to a four-month rooting period. This rooting process took place in a growth medium consisting of a balanced mixture of perlite and cocopeat mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1. The results exhibited significant effects of different chitosan concentrations on several parameters, including rhizome number, rhizome width, the number of roots, and the quality of the mother leaf. In addition, the type of leaflet cutting demonstrated a significant influence on the width and number of rhizomes. These results demonstrated that the application of chitosan at concentrations of 250 and 500 mg L-1 had a positive effect and resulted in increased rhizome number, rhizome width, and number of roots. Overall, it can be concluded that chitosan can promote the growth and development of zamiifolia by stimulating rhizome production and improving root proliferation.

壳聚糖对热带室内观赏植物三重叶扦插繁殖的影响

摘要:三米兰(Zamioculcas Zamiifolia)是天南星科多年生观赏药用植物。这种植物在这个特殊植物家族的经济意义中占有突出的地位。本试验旨在通过三密叶插条研究三密叶的根系发育和根茎生成过程。本试验采用因子设计，完全随机框架设计，重复3次。试验处理分别为0、250和500 mg L-1 3个浓度的壳聚糖，以及沿叶片主轴(顶端、中间和基部)定位的小叶插穗。施用这些处理后，小叶插枝的生根期为4个月。这种生根过程是在由珍珠岩和椰泥以1:1的体积比混合而成的生长介质中进行的。结果表明，不同浓度的壳聚糖对根数、根宽、根数、母叶品质等指标均有显著影响。此外，小叶切割方式对根状茎的宽度和数量有显著影响。结果表明，壳聚糖浓度为250和500 mg L-1时，可显著增加根数、根宽和根数。综上所述，壳聚糖可以通过刺激三米兰根茎生成和促进根增殖来促进其生长发育。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
