Abstract

Rooting cofactors and proanthocyanidins were studied in cuttings ofCastanea sativa Mill. from a natural mutant Nana and juvenile plants, both of which are easy to root, and from adult plants that do not root. Rooting cofactors and a high amount of proanthocyanidins were found in the easy-to-root cuttings, whereas in the adult plants no rooting cofactors were detected and the amount of proanthocyanidins was very low.
