Abstract
Taxus wallichiana Zucc. (Himalayan yew), is precious for taxol or paclitaxel removal used in the research of anti-cancer drugs (ovarian cancers, AIDS related cancers and other indications). It is a slow growing tree species due toits very poor natural regeneration and very low seed germination. The present investigation tested the consequenceof different plant growth regulators such as, Indole Butyric Acid (IBA), Indole-3- Acetic Acid (IAA) and NaphthaleneAcetic Acid (NAA) on adventitious rooting of Himalayan yew shoot cuttings in four different seasons (spring,summer, autumn and winter) under nursery conditions. Shoot cuttings were treated with diverse concentrations ofIBA, IAA and NAA. However, IBA at 1000 ppm in spring season (Mar-May) showed best response in stipulations ofroot length, root number and rooting percentage. The present investigation reveals that this method has thepotentiality of using the young shoot cuttings of Himalayan yew in presence of plant growth regulating hormone IBAfor its propagation and production on large extent to congregate the increasing stipulate.
期刊介绍:
Forestry Research is a comprehensive academic journal of forestry science organized by the Chinese Academy of Forestry. The main task is to reflect the latest research results, academic papers and research reports, scientific and technological developments and information on forestry science mainly organized by the Chinese Academy of Forestry, to promote academic exchanges at home and abroad, to carry out academic discussions, to flourish forestry science, and to better serve China's forestry construction.
The main contents are: forest seeds, seedling afforestation, forest plants, forest genetic breeding, tree physiology and biochemistry, forest insects, resource insects, forest pathology, forest microorganisms, forest birds and animals, forest soil, forest ecology, forest management, forest manager, forestry remote sensing, forestry biotechnology and other new technologies, new methods, and to increase the development strategy of forestry, the trend of development of disciplines, technology policies and strategies, etc., and to increase the forestry development strategy, the trend of development of disciplines, technology policies and strategies. It is suitable for scientists and technicians of forestry and related disciplines, teachers and students of colleges and universities, leaders and managers, and grassroots forestry workers.
