Abstract excerpt
Propagation through vegetative cuttings is a widely used technique that may bias estimates of genetic and environmental effects on plant growth. Leafy stem cuttings from 210 genotypes from eight populations of Salix pulchra were rooted and raised at three levels of nitrogen availability. Cuttings showed a complex suite of responses to vegetative propagation. Population and/or genotypic variation in response to...
