Cuticle Resistances of Shoot-tip for Five Floral Crops.

Separation of shoot and floral identity

The aerial parts of Arabidopsis are ultimately derived from the primary shoot apical meristem which is established during embryogenesis (Sussex, 1989; Evans and Barton, 1997). Over the plant life cycle, a series of growth phases reflect the activity of this meristem (Poethig, 1990; Schultz and Haughn, 1993; Ratcliffe et al., 1998). Following germination, the shoot apical meristem generates leaf...

Direct Multiple Shoot Regeneration from Shoot Tip and Nodal Explants of Solanum Nigrum L. A Medicinal Herb

In vitro multiple shoot regeneration of Solanum nigrum L., an Indian medicinal plant was accomplished on MS medium utilizing shoot tip and nodal explants. Direct multiple shoots differentiated within 6 weeks when explants were cultured on MS medium containing BAP (1.0-5.0 mg/l) and KIN (1.0-5.0 mg/l) individually. Among various concentrations of cytokinins tested, maximum number of multiple sho...

The effects of several variables on shoot-tip grafting of clementing mandarin onto troyer citrange

Maintenance of shoot and floral meristem cell proliferation and fate.

To cope with environmental changes, animals respond by altering their behavior, but sessile plants respond by altering their growth and development pattern. One of the major differences between plant and animal development is that plants have the capacity to develop new organs postembryonically. This potential to develop new organs is attributed to sets of cells, called meristems, which are fou...

The Effects of Different Media on Shoot Proliferation From the Shoot Tip of Aloe vera L.

BACKGROUND Aloe vera L. is an important pharmaceutical plant from which several medicinal and cosmetic compounds are extracted. Aloe is naturally propagated through offset, which is a slow and expensive labor cost method with low economical income. OBJECTIVES In this study, the effect of different media on shoot proliferation of the shoot tip of Aloe vera L. was investigated. MATERIALS AND ...
