Study on the cutting technology of chayote (Sechium edule) and the physiological mechanism of rooting regulation by exogenous hormones
Treating semi-hard branches with 1.0 g·L⁻¹ IBA on peat soil shows the best effect in promoting rooting of 'Tuershao' cuttings. Exogenous IBA can promote nutrient metabolism, enhance antioxidant enzyme activities, and regulate endogenous hormone levels in 'Tuershao' cuttings, thereby further promoting rooting.
