Propagating Pecans, by Dr. George Ray McEachern
After at least 24 hours, remove nuts, which have swelled, showing a split in the suture. Some may need longer soaking to split. Plant the seed sideways 3 to 4 inches deep in either a nursery row, a raised bed, or a 55-gallon barrel with both ends cut out. After one year, the seedlings should be 6 to 18 inches tall.
Propagating and growing plants Taking cuttings
Plants can be grown in large numbers by germinating seeds, or by growing bulbs or tubers. Cuttings can be taken from existing plants, and can be grafted onto the stock of another plant. Part of
Rooting effects of NAA treatment on cuttings of persimmon dwarfing rootstock Hourakudai and growing conditions for grafted
By following year, rooted cuttings were grafted, and the growth was observed under different potting conditions (1.5-L, 10-L, and 20-L). Between the two concentrations, the best rooting was obtained in the treatment of 5500 ppm NAA planted in late June.
Stone Fruit Propagation by Cuttings
Place the basal portion of the bundled cuttings in 3 inches of moist peat above 8 inches of sand above heating mats or circulating hot-water tubing. Maintain bottom heat at 18 to 21°C and expose the top portion to cold air to ensure bud dormancy (Hartmann, Kester, Davies, & Geneve, 2011, p. 350). Cuttings can also be spaced closely together
Grafting in plants: recent discoveries and new applications
In addition to using grafting to improve horticultural production and scientifically to characterize rootstock and scion genotypes (), grafting has the potential to generate new species resulting from the local horizontal transfer of genetic material between the two genotypes of grafted plants (Stegemann and Bock, 2009; Stegemann et al.,

How to Graft an Avocado Plant: A Complete Guide
Grafting Technique. Follow these steps to graft a superior avocado variety onto a young avocado plant: Prepare the Rootstock: Choose a healthy branch on the young avocado plant as the grafting site. Make a diagonal cut about 6-8 inches above the soil line, creating a sloping surface for the graft. Prepare the Scion:
Plant grafting: insights into tissue regeneration
After grafting, plant responses are rapidly activated as the plant detects wounding and begins the regeneration process. There are several possibilities for how a plant could sense and initiate graft formation. First, cutting the vasculature produces an asymmetry at the cut by changing transport dynamics.
The Rooting of Stem Cuttings and the Stability of
The reason may be that the hot summer in 2010 weakened pear trees that produced poor quality shoots next year (2011) and thin cuttings which have low nutrient reserves (2012). The minimal length of new shoots for all our experiments in 2012 confirms our last supposition.
Enhanced Graft-take Ratio and Quality of Grafted Tomato Seedlings by Controlling Temperature and
The higher graft-take ratios (84.0~87.4%) were showed at 23oC compared to 20oC and 26oC in all rootstocks. Graft-take ratios decreased and number of dis-eased plants increased at high temperature
Enhancing root regeneration and nutrient absorption in double-rootcutting grafted seedlings by regulating
In short, a 12-h photoperiod with a PPFD of 200 μmol m −1 s −1 could be applied to produce high-quality DRC grafted seedlings, mainly through enhancing graft union formation (Fig. 3), rootstock root regeneration (Fig. 4), nutrient absorption (Fig. 7)

The use of grafted seedlings increases the success of conservation translocations of Manglietia longipedunculata (Magnoliaceae
Grafted seedlings attained the flowering stage sooner than emerged seedlings. Our study suggests that grafting can facilitate the augmentation and establishment of new populations of M. longipedunculata and perhaps of new populations of other threatened species facing reproductive difficulties and climate change.
Metrosideros excelsa • New Zealand Plant Conservation Network
Detailed description. Tree up to 20 m tall with canopy spread of 10–50 m. Specimens typically multi-trunked from base, trunks up to 2 m diameter, branches spreading, and often arching, sometimes looping over ground, and/or bearing "brooms" of aerial adventitious roots. Branchlets numerous, twiggy and long-persistent; young branchlets

Study on the Applications and Regulatory Mechanisms of Grafting on Vegetables
Abstract. Grafting can overcome problems with soil sensitivity, enhance plant stress tolerance, improve product quality, and increase crop yield and value. This paper reviews the various mechanisms of vegetable grafting, the graft survival process and its influencing factors, the practical applications of grafting, and the molecular regulation

Propagating Roses: Rose Grafting, Cuttings and Layering Roses
To speed up the rooting process and encourage vigorous growth, it is a good idea to "pamper" the plant. Choose a healthy, pencil sized stem on a disease free rose bush, ensuring it has already flowered. Step 1. Remove the leafsets and thorns, and work on the area just below the first five leafsets. Step 2.
Plant Propagation by Stem Cuttings
2 · Introduction. Propagation by stem cuttings is the most commonly used method to propagate many woody ornamental plants. Stem cuttings of many favorite shrubs are quite easy to root. Typically, stem cuttings of tree species are more difficult to root. However, cuttings from trees such as crape myrtles, some elms, and birches can be rooted.
Plant grafting: Current Biology
One common application is grafting the shoot of one plant, termed the scion, to the root of a different plant, termed the rootstock, to increase or decrease the size of the plant. Alternatively, grafting can improve stress resistance or allow plants to grow in new environments. Plant grafting has also been important for the discovery of
