Abstract This paper reports that rhizogenesis in woody plant species in vitro was mediated through the basipetal transport of auxin from the shoot apex. This can directly induce roots in easy-to-root species such as Betula pendula, but was dependent upon an interaction with exogenous auxin in more difficult-to-root species such as Daphne cneorum, and to a lesser extent in Quercus robur. Shoot apex removal reduced rhizogenesis in Quercus, and inhibited it in Daphne, even in the presence of exogenous auxin, whereas rooting in Betula was unaffected. That basipetally transported auxin modulates rhizogenesis was demonstrated by the inhibition of root induction in Betula shoots by the auxin transport inhibitor 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), and by the substitution of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) for a bud in Betula internodal sections.
