Why do you think the bud was able to grow in the cut of the bark? What
procedures in the lab help the bud to begin growing on the seedling?
What will be an ideal response?
The bud is provided with water and nutrients it needs for growth from the seedling.
Wrapping the shoots in cool moist towels keeps the vascular tissue from drying out
so that when the tissue is reunited with a source of nutrients, it is able to function.
The sharp knife reduces the amount of tearing of bud tissue; sliding the bud into the
bark and tightly wrapping it with budding rubber reduces drying and promotes the
growth of the two tissues together
