BA-Induced Shoot Formation in Indian Hawthorn

Disease Resistance of Selected Cultivars of Indian Hawthorn in Alabama

Investigation of the interaction between abscisic acid (ABA) and excess benzyladenine (BA) on the formation of shoot in tissue culture of tea (Camellia sinensis L.)

The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and excess benzyladenine (BA) on the formation of shoot from tea (Camellia sinensis L. assamica × sinensis) leaf was investigated in this research. Callus was formed and grew well when explants were cultured on LS basal medium supplemented with (in mg/L) thiamine-HCl, 1.25; pyridoxine-HCl, 0.625; nicotinic acid, 0.625; indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 30; naphthalen...

Shoot meristem formation and maintenance.

The shoot apical meristem of higher plants is a self-maintaining stem cell system which gives rise to the entire above-ground part of a plant. In the past year, genetic and molecular studies have provided increasing insight into the processes of shoot meristem formation and maintenance, as well as into the relation between the apical meristem and its products.

Shoot Meristem Formation in Vegetative Development.

The majority of the plant body is derived from the activities of groups of specialized cells, known as apical meristems, at the growing tips. In a typical flowering plant, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) gives rise to the bulk of the above-ground portion of the plant, whereas root meristems give rise to the bulk of the subterranean plant body. Of course, not all plants are typical, and numerous...
