Vigour of ramie (Boehmeria nivea) plants grown from rhizomes as an index for selecting for ease of establishment from stem cuttings

SUMMARY In studies of 36 genotypes of Boehmeria nivea, height of plants grown from rhizomes at 70, 90 and 110 days after planting showed positive and significant phenotypic and genotypic correlations with establishment percentage from stem cuttings, indicating that genotypes producing tall plants from rhizomes could establish more easily from stem cuttings than genotypes producing shorter plants. A higher genotypic than phenotypic correlation coefficient and a higher coheritability percentage indicated that plant height and establishment percentage were genetically linked and influenced little by environment. It was concluded that vigour of plants grown from rhizomes may be used as a criterion in selection of genotypes for ease of establishment of stem cuttings.
