Layering
This type of layering occurs when dirt is placed around the base of the plant which results in roots forming above the previous root structure
Mound Layering
Undifferentiated cells that are typically found at the wounds of plants
Callus Cells
Small, specialized stems that grow on top of the ground and reach out horizontally
Stolons
Name 2 of the 4 major environmental factors that contribute to plant growth
Temperature, Light, Moisture, air
Occurs when the top portion of a stem is placed directly into the ground.
During Grafting this is the top portion of the graft
Scion
Bulbs that contain "scales" that can grow into new clones
Non-Tunicates
For root growth, the air temperature should be higher than soil temperature (TRUE/FALSE)
False, Soil temperatures should be higher than air temps.
Occurs above the ground and occurs when a ring of bark is removed and covered in moss.
Air Layering
In grafting, it is the bottom portion of the graft
Root Stock
Less Light for root growth
When a notch is cut into a branch or stem and then the notch is placed under the soil
Simple Layering
The part of the plant that transports water and minerals from the roots to the other parts of the plant
Xylem
Type of Bulbs that contains layers based upon previous years growth
Tunicate Bulbs
Too much water in the soil prevents this aspect that is essential to growth
Prevents oxygenation of the soil
When multiple notches are cut in a long stem and placed under ground. Each notch gives rise to a new clone plant
Trench layering
This part of the plant transports nutrients from the areas of photosynthesis to the other parts of the plants
Phloem
Enlargements on the stolons or rhizomes that can be cut apart and grown
Tubers
What range of relative humidity is good for root growth?
60-80%
