Alternative clonal propagation of Dryobalanops Beccarii and D. Rappa
Application of rooted cuttings derived from epicormic shoots from mature trees of dryobalanops beccarii and D. rappa in current tree propagation and improvement programmes is suggested and discussed. Development of epicormic shoot indicated partial rejuvenation which was exhibited by plagiotropic growth habit, adult leaf morphology and delayed bud flusing of rooted cuttings. The juvenility of epicormic shoots showed that the 'ageing' component of cyclophysis had been reversed by the 'maturation' component which remained unaltered. The incomplete rejuvenation was further demonstrated by poor rooting of cutting derived from epicormic shoots. The potential of using these characteristics as possible markers of juvenility and maturity more readily than those from other parts of the tree bole. It was suggested that epicormic shoots obtained topohysis, supported the theory that maturation occurred in different phases.
