Abstract

Regeneration of xylem induced by adventitious root formation in the hypocotyl of Luff a cylindrica Roem. seedlings is described. This naturally occurring form of xylem regeneration involves the formation of a bypass of regenerated tracheary elements around a root without external severance of the vascular strands. The regeneration of xylem around an adventitious root is polar and is very similar in its developmental pattern to the well-known xylem regeneration induced by wounding vascular strands.
