Growth trends in plants raised from seeds and
those from stem cuttings of Commiphora
wightii were compared for four years (2008-
2011) and it was observed that the plants raised
from seeds grew consistently better than those
raised from cuttings. In the fourth year, primary
branch diameter, main stem diameter
and sturdiness in the seed raised plant increased
by 43.4, 33.7 and 18.4 %, respectively with
respect to stem cutting raised plants. However,
number of primary branches in plants
grown from either of the source showed nonsignificant
difference. Since plant raised from
seeds are superior compared to those raised
through stem cuttings, this can be a viable alternative
in conservation of germplasm of this
threatened species as well as early attainment
of stem thickness suitable for tapping its oleogum
resin.
