... First, root tissue must be similar to callus tissue, which is sensitive to phytohormone signals; and second, this tissue must possess a source of undifferentiated cells available for differentiation to shoots or roots. These two conditions might be fulfilled by the lateral cambium in a secondarily thickened root (Bartušková et al., 2021), pericycle (Kerstetter and Hake, 1997) or callus tissue formed on a wounded root (Rauh, 1937). The idea that lateral cambium is the most suitable receptive tissue is supported by the fact that most root-sprouting plants are eudicots capable of secondary thickening, while other taxonomical groups that do not have secondary growth largely lack this ability (Bartušková et al., 2021). ...
