Description
Jingjing Geng and co-authors test whether two small organic acids can help persimmon rootstock cuttings grow roots, published in 2024. Organic acids occur naturally in plants and aid development. The team asked whether malic acid and tartaric acid could boost adventitious root formation in cuttings of Diospyros lotus, used as a rootstock.
After treatment at a set dose, both the rooting rate and the survival rate rose notably. Cuttings also grew more side roots. Tissue study showed the acids enhanced the formation of root primordia, the early root structures. Sugar and starch stores fell early on, while a key growth hormone peaked higher than in controls. A second hormone moved the other way. The authors present the acids as an alternative rooting aid.
