Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate and define strategies for the selection of C. trichotoma clones with competence for adventitious rooting and production of high-quality plantlets by mini-cuttings. For adventitious rooting, mini-cuttings were treated with 3,000 mg L-1 of indole butyric acid and grown in 110 cm³ tubes, consisting of equal proportions of the commercial substrate and vermiculite. The percentage of rooting, number of roots, and mini-cuttings rooted per mini-stump were evaluated after 30 days of cultivation in a humid chamber. The rooted mini-cuttings were transferred to a shade house and the survival percentage, stem diameter, height, and number of leaves were evaluated at 120 days. Data were analyzed using the restricted maximum likelihood/best linear unbiased prediction (REML/BLUP) method and Pearson´s correlation analysis. The number of rooted mini-cuttings and stem diameter presented the highest repeatability and accuracy values for rooting and plantlet growth, respectively. These traits also presented significant positive correlation estimations with others, indicating the possibility of indirect selection gain. Cordia trichotoma clones can be selected for vegetative propagation, considering the number of rooted mini-cuttings and the stem diameter of the plantlets produced by mini-cutting. Early selection for adventitious rooting and plantlet quality can aid in genetic improvement programs for the development of new cultivars for vegetative propagation via the use of mini-cuttings.
