Abstract
Adventitious rooting (AR) is a crucial step toward vegetative cloning of horticultural, agricultural, and forest-based plant species of economic importance. AR is governed by numerous endogenous and environmental factors. In this connection, among the phytohormones, auxins play an important and intimate role in AR development. The molecular mechanisms of the action of auxins and the role of different genes, that is, Aux/IAA, auxin response gene family, and many other signaling pathways have been investigated in detail. In this chapter, we examine the work done to understand physiological and molecular control of AR. Additionally, the main emphasis is on the role of different auxins in AR development.
