Charles E. Hess Department of Environmental Horticulture University
of California Davis, CA 95616 Research in the biology of
adventitious root formation has a special place in science. It
provides an excellent forum in which to pursue fundamental research
on the regulation of plant growth and development. At the same time
the results of the research have been quickly applied by commercial
plant propagators, agronomists, foresters and horticulturists (see
the chapter by Kovar and Kuchenbuch, by Ritchie, and by Davies and
coworkers in this volume). In an era when there is great interest
in speeding technology transfer, the experiences gained in research
in adventitious root formation may provide useful examples for
other areas of science. Interaction between the fundamental and the
applied have been and continue to be facilitated by the
establishment, in 1951, of the Plant Propagators' Society, which
has evolved into the International Plant Propagators' Society, with
active programs in six regions around the world. It is a unique
organization which brings together researchers in universities,
botanical gardens and arboreta, and commercial plant propagators.
In this synergistic environment new knowledge is rapidly
transferred and new ideas for fundamental research evolve from the
presentations and discussions by experienced plant propagators. In
the past 50 years, based on research related to the biology of
adventitious root formation, advances in plant propagation have
been made on two major fronts.
