The Science of Plant Propagation
From Lab Bench to Backyard Garden

About this book:

Ever wondered *why* a severed stem sprouts roots, or how a single leaf cell holds the blueprint for an entire plant? *The Science of Plant Propagation* pulls back the curtain on the cellular magic that turns gardening guesswork into repeatable success. Bridging the gap between dense academic research and rule-of-thumb horticulture, this book reveals the hormonal signals, genetic switches, and anatomical choreography behind every cutting, graft, and germinated seed. You’ll move beyond "green thumb" folklore to master the biology of totipotency, the chemistry of dormancy, and the vascular architecture that makes graft unions thrive.

Whether you are a nursery professional optimizing thousands of liners, a student building a rigorous foundation, or a dedicated hobbyist ready to crack the code of stubborn species, this guide translates cutting-edge plant physiology into bench-ready protocol. Stop gambling with propagation—start engineering it.
