Meristem-tip Culture and California's Clean Foundation Sweetpotato Program

Meristem-tip culture for propagation and virus elimination.

elimination of bean yellow mosaic virus through thermotherapy combined with meristem-tip culture in gladiolus corms

bean yellow mosaic virus (bymv, potyvirus, potyviridae) causes serious disease in gladiolus spp. in this work, the possibility of obtaining bymv free plant material from virus infected gladiolus corms was studied. thermotherapy, meristem-tip culture and combination of both techniques on infected corms/meristem-tip explants (0.5–1 mm in length) resulted in bymv elimination up to 15.38, 78.04 and...

micropropagation of fig (cv. jaami-e-kan) via meristem tip culture

a methodology to regenerate whole plants of fig tree (ficus carica cv. jaami-e-kan) from apical meristem of greenhouse plantlets was developed. two meristematic explants size (0.2-0.4 and 0.5-0.7 mm), two kinds of culture media and three concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (0.5, 1 and 1.5 mgrl-1) were tested as a completely randomize design (crd) with a simple factorial arrangement for establishm...

Thermotherapy, chemotherapy, and meristem culture in banana.

Bananas that provide a staple food to the millions of people are adversely affected by several viruses such as Banana bunchy Top Virus (BBTV), Banana Streak Virus (BSV), and Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV). These viruses are known to have a devastating effect on crop production and constraint to the international exchange and conservation of banana germplasm-a cornerstone for breeding new cultivars...

Indonesia’s Clean Air Program

Unprecedented industrial development during the last two decades, accompanied by a growing population, has increased the amount of environmental damage in Indonesia. A critical environmental problem is the rising level of air pollution in several large cities. This has stimulated the government to develop a national program designed to control the quantity of pollutants in the air. However, the...
