In vitro Micropropagation of Critically Endangered (CR) Endemic Erodium somanum / Kritik Tehlikedeki (CR) Endemik Erodium somanum Türünün in vitro Mikroçoğaltımı

Antibacterial polyphenol from Erodium glaucophyllum.

Geraniin and gallic acid were isolated from the alcohol extract of the aerial parts of Erodium glaucophyllum (Geraniaceae). The identity of the compounds was verified through different physical and spectrometric methods. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of geraniin is presented.

In vitro Propagation of Critically Endangered Endemic Rhaponticoides mykalea (Hub.-Mor.) by Axillary Shoot Proliferation

Adventitious shoot regeneration and in vitro flowering of Anthemis xylopoda O.Schwarz, a critically endangered Turkish endemic

A protocol has been developed for the direct induction of adventitious shoots from leaf explants of in vitro raised Anthemis xylopoda O.Schwarz, a critically endangered Turkish endemic. The Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with N–benzyladenine (BA), kinetin (KIN), and thidiazuron (TDZ) were used in regeneration experiments. BA at 0.5 mg L concentration was chosen as the optimal treat...

Female Reproductive Success of Narrow Endemic Erodium Paularense in Contrasting Microhabitats

In 1996, we investigated the female reproductive success of the narrow endemic Erodium paularense in a population with a mixture of rock and lithosol microhabitats. The main purposes of this study were to determine the main factors that affected reproductive success and whether these factors were influenced by differences in the two contrasting microhabitats. In both microhabitats, fruit set wa...

Micropropagation of Ilex khasiana, a critically endangered and endemic holly of Northeast India

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ilex khasiana is a rare and critically endangered holly endemic to the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, India, and confined to a small number of pocket areas. In addition to conventional methods of propagation, endemic and threatened plants such as this could be more effectively multiplied and conserved using in vitro methods. Such techniques have the additional advantage of having...
