In vitro Propagation of Canna edulis Ker. by Longitudinal Shoot-split Method.

Integration of physical and chemical treatment on the extraction of starch from Canna edulis Ker. rhizome

The extraction of Canna edulis Ker. starch from its rhizome was performed using 2 different types of press (hydraulic press and screw press) and with the addition of Na-metabisulphite and NaOH (in the range of concentration 100 5000 ppm each). The optimum condition for this process was determined by Central Composite Design of experiment and the statistical calculation was solved by Design-Expe...

Simultaneous utilization of non-starch polysaccharides and starch and viscosity reduction for bioethanol fermentation from fresh Canna edulis Ker. tubers.

Viscosity reduction and the effect of cell-wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) were investigated using Canna edulis Ker. for bioethanol fermentation. The fermentation mash treated with CWDEs was much thinner (2.12 Pas) than the control mash (8.42 Pas), the fermentation efficiency was increased from 90.46% to 96.11%. HPLC analysis revealed that after treated with CWDEs, glucose and total sugar were i...

In vitro propagation of Tilia platyphyllos by axillary shoot proliferation

In vitro propagation of Tilia platyphyllos Scop. has been achieved by axillary shoot proliferation and somatic embryogenesis. The influence of tree age, explant source, genotype, and phytohormones on micropropagation of juvenile and mature trees of Tilia platyphyllos has been investigated. Nodal segments and shoot tips were used as initial explants for axillary shoot proliferation. Low concentr...

Optimization of in vitro Propagation of Purple Passion Fruit (Passiflora edulis), an Important Medicinal and Ornamental Plant

Tissue culture techniques can be beneficial for quick clonal propagation and production of disease-free plants of purple passion fruit as one of the most important medicinal and ornamental plants. These techniques are essential tools for the production of transgenic plants and high-value phytochemicals. The present study was planned to introduce an efficient in vitro propagation for pu...
