Morphogenesis of Roots in Edible Canna. With special reference to adventitious roots.

Adventitious roots and secondary metabolism.

Plants are a rich source of valuable secondary metabolites and in the recent years plant cell, tissue and organ cultures have been developed as an important alternative sources for the production of these compounds. Adventitious roots have been successfully induced in many plant species and cultured for the production of high value secondary metabolites of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and indu...

Morphogenesis: Cell death returns to its roots

Cell-death researchers are looking back at an old question, as interest is revived in exploring the role of cell death in morphogenesis.

Induction of DrsB1-CBDAvr4 Recombinant Protein in Hairy and Adventitious Roots of T1 Transgenic Plants

Hairy and adventitious roots are efficient systems for expressing recombinant proteins. In the present study, the amount of DrsB1-CBDAvr4 recombinant protein in hairy and adventitious root systems was compared. To this end, the effect of different factors on the optimization of culture conditions to obtain adventitious and hairy roots was evaluated in three separate experiments by assessment of...

Elongation by primary lateral roots and adventitious roots during conditions of hypoxia and high ethylene concentrations

Soil flooding results in unusually low oxygen concentra­ tions and high ethylene concentrations in the roots of plants. This gas composition had a strongly negative effect on root elongation of two Rumex species. The effect of low >xygen concentrations was less severe when roots conained aerenchymatous tissues, such as in R. palustris Sm. thyrsiflorus Fingerh., which has little root porosity, w...
