Is there any possibility that using BAP alone induces rooting?

 If so then what is the reason or cause behind it. Is there any paper or article mentioning about it.  Please send some paper releated to it.

Generally BAP has no effect on rooting in in vitro culture.
In Eucalyptus BAP has a negative effect on rooting when it accumulates in tissues after many cycles of multiplication. Sometimes it is necessary some subcultures in medium with activated charcoal to detoxify the explants and recover the rhizogenic capacity.
