Abstract

The potential of several common weed species to produce adventitious shoots when the plants were excised approximately 1.0 cm below the cotyledonary node at the cotyledon growth stage and at the four true-leaf stage is reported. Indian jointvetch (Aeschynomene indica L. ♯3 AESIN), northern jointvetch [Aeschynomene virginica (L.) B.S.P. ♯ AESVI], and wild poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla L. ♯ EPHHL) produced adventitious shoots at both growth stages after shoot excision. Adventitious and vegetative regeneration of wild poinsettia damaged by herbicides was similar to that from decapitation.
