Project description
 

The main goal of this project is to unravel the working mechanism of the synthetic compound hysparin. Hysparin is a specific inducer of adventitious roots on the hypocotyl of Arabidopsis thaliana. This strategic research supports a rational way of developing new adventitious root induction methods.
