  text: ' In vitro propagation of the ornamentally interesting species Wikstroemia
    gemmata is limited by the recalcitrance to form adventitious roots. In this article,
    two strategies to improve the rooting capacity of in vitro microcuttings are presented.
    Firstly, the effect of exogenous auxin was evaluated in both light and dark cultivated
    stem segments and also the sucrose-content of the medium was varied in order to
    determine better rooting conditions. Secondly, different spectral lights were
    evaluated and the effect on shoot growth and root induction demonstrated that
    the exact spectral composition of light is important for successful in vitro growth
    and development of Wikstroemia gemmata. We show that exogenous auxin cannot compensate
    for the poor rooting under unfavorable light conditions. Adapting the culture
    conditions is therefore paramount for successful industrial propagation of Wikstroemia
    gemmata. '
