Expression Levels of Genes Encoding Proteins Involved in the Cell Wall–Plasma Membrane–Cytoskeleton Continuum Are Associated With the Maturation-Related Adventitious Rooting Competence of Pine Stem Cuttings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Stem cutting recalcitrance to adventitious root formation is a major limitation for the clonal propagation or micropropagation of elite genotypes of many forest tree species, especially at the adult stage of development.
