Stock mother plants have gained importance in the process of adventitious rooting of woody plants in recent years. The present study reveals the role of the cutting position from a stock mother plant for subsequent rooting. Cuttings of Prunus subhirtella Miq. var. Autumnalis which originated from suckers at the bottom of a tree developed a rooting system of better quality (rooted cutting without callus formation, more main roots) compared to cuttings which originated from shoots at the top of a tree. The latter accumulated significantly more indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) with the highest value of 25.37 μg g⁻¹ FW on the severance date. These cuttings also contained more indole-3-acetyl-aspartate (IAA-Asp) on the second day after severance with the highest value of 4875.95 μg g⁻¹ FW compared to cuttings from the bottom-deriving suckers. The latter metabolised IAA primarily via 2-oxindole-3-acetic acid (oxIAA) and indole-3-methanol because the concentrations of these compounds increased at the base of these cuttings. The highest concentration of oxIAA, 8.3 mg ekv. IAA g⁻¹ FW, was measured 1 h after severance in cuttings from the bottom-derived suckers. With 590.5 ng ekv IAAg⁻¹ FW, the indole-3-methanol values were also significantly higher in the cuttings from the bottom shoots compared with cuttings from the top of the tree.
