Abstract

The vegetative propagation by cutting and mini-cutting techniques is an alternative to overcoming difficulties of propagation through seeds and cloning of superior genotypes of native wood species. It is also useful to the conservation of forest genetic resources. Brazil has a great diversity of wood species. However, researches with cutting and mini-cutting techniques of wood native species are still scarce. Additional studies concerning cutting rooting are necessary. In this context, this paper presents a review of researches conducted with vegetative propagation via cutting and mini-cutting techniques with Brazilian wood native species, showing the procedures and the characteristics of the propagation of these species. The development and domain of propagation of wood native species will contribute to important achievements regarding species silviculture to the forest sector of timber and non-timber products, as well as, to the restoration of degraded forests and environmental protection.
