TO ROOT OR NOT TO ROOT? AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING ADVENTITIOUS ROOT INDUCTION IN AMERICAN CHESTNUT CUTTINGS

Objective

1) Identify location and cell type that form AC root primordia through a histological study.2) Reveal metabolites contributing to AC cuttings' recalcitrance to AR induction by comparison with easy-to-root woody species.3) Reveal gene modulation and endogenous phytohormones dynamics during AR induction in AC cuttings.4) Evaluate potential effects ofBacillus subtilison AR formation in AC cuttings.
