Abstract
Eucalyptus gunnii Hook microcuttings, obtained in vitro through axillary bud stimulation, show different rooting responses on the same rooting medium depending on the physiological state induced by cytokinins used in the previous multiplication medium. 6-Furfurylamino purine and 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enylamino)purine induced a physiological state characterized by high sensitivity of microcuttings to the rooting stimulus exerted by the auxin 3-indolebutyric acid, but N6-benzyladenine did not produce the same effect. The former physiological state was characterized by an increased accumulation of two endogenous flavonoids (identified as quercetin glycosides) which may be markers of a well defined physiological state. They could have some direct influence on the rooting processes of the explants cultivated in vitro.
