Adventitious roots were induced from shoots and leaves of the chimera plant TCC (LI-LII-LIII = TCC; T = Tuber mustard, C = Red Cabbage), previously developed by in vitro grafting of tuber mustard (Brassica juncea) and red cabbage (B. oleracea). The regeneration frequency of adventitious roots from TCC shoots and leaf sections was markedly higher than that obtained from the parents TTT (tuber mustard) and CCC (red cabbage). Moreover, levels of α-naphthaleneacetic acid in the culture medium had lower effects on rooting efficiency of TCC chimeras compared to those of TTT and CCC. The number and fresh weight of adventitious roots per TCC shoot, 13.11 roots and 0.274 g, respectively, were also significantly higher than those of the parents. This demonstrated that replacing the histogenic LI layer (the outermost apical cell layer) with a different genotype might improve adventitious root induction capability of these vegetative tissues due to likely synergistic effects between LI and the other two histogenic layers, LII and LIII. Following polymerase chain reaction analysis and histological investigation, it was found that these adventitious roots originated from the LIII histogenic layer.
