Fundamental Studies on Environments in Plant Tissue Culture Vessels

Oxidative Stress Studies in Plant Tissue Culture

Higher plants are sessile therefore are continuously exposed to different environmental stress factors, such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, nutritional disorders, radiation without any protection. Most of these stresses produce certain common effects on plants, like induced oxidative stress by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), besides their own specific effects (Rao, 2006). ...

Plant tissue culture studies in Sorghum bicolor: immature embryo explants as the source material

Sorghum is a wonder crop from physiological point of view. It is the most important cereal crop, after rice and wheat.  The number of reports describing the use of transgenic Sorghum for basic studies in Biotechnology is still limited when compared to other crops. In one hand, the success of the transformation techniques is mainly dependent upon the availability of optimal protocols for highly ...

Elicitors in Plant Tissue Culture

Plants or plant cells in vitro, show physiological and morphological response to microbial, physical or chemical factors which are known as ‘elicitors’. Elicitation is a process of induced or enhanced synthesis of secondary metabolites by the plants to ensure their survival persistence and competitiveness. The application of elicitors, which is currently the focus of research, has been consider...

Serologic studies of African Horse-sickness Virus with Emphasis on Neutralizaition Test in Tissue Culture

Tissue Culture Studies

The content of ribo- and desoxyribonucleic acids in chick heart cultures at regular intervals after implanting has been determined both with standard culture medium and with Tyrode's solution alone. With an inadequate medium, both nucleic acids dropped in a consistent manner but ribonucleic acid was affected to a much greater extent. When the medium was adequate for growth, both fractions rose ...
