Abstract:
      The effects of different stem parts and different cutting mediums on the rooting of the cutting of everlasting pea(Lathyrus latifolius L.) were studied. The result showed that the top part of stem of everlasting pea had the best rooting capacity. In the stem cutting experiment, it had better effects on rooting rate (66.67%) and the length, surface area and and volume of root. All index of root system was extremely significant compared with other parts (P<0.01); In the growth performance of overground part, no significant difference was observed on the average new leaves of stem cutting, but new shoot length was different (P<0.05). The mixed media had the best rooting capacity in different medium experiments, in which the rooting rate was 65.3% that was better than others, and the surface area of root and root volume of root system index were significantly different from other mediums (P<0.01); but the growth status of overground part was not as well as the mixed media, and there was a significant difference in new leaves (P<0.05), but no difference in new shoot lengh.
