Plant Cell Tissue and Organ Culture Biotechnology and Its Application in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

MAPs are increasing worldwide and continue to attract growing interest for farmers, traders, economists, teachers, professionals, health officials and various industries. The MAPs are natural biological resources that have a great potential to synthesize a huge variety of important secondary metabolites, also referred to as natural products, far more than animal and even microorganisms. Are def...

Melatonin in Plants and Plant Culture Systems: Variability, Stability and Efficient Quantification

Despite growing evidence of the importance of melatonin and serotonin in the plant life, there is still much debate over the stability of melatonin, with extraction and analysis methods varying greatly from lab to lab with respect to time, temperature, light levels, extraction solvents, and mechanical disruption. The variability in methodology has created conflicting results that confound the c...

Terrestrial Plants and Plant Communities

A terrestrial plant community is best described by its composition and dynamics. It is most important to know for each plant speciesits numbers, the area covered by it, its rate of reproduction, and its longevity. It is also important to know how soon adult plants are replaced by their young or other species and the frequency with which one species occurs relative to others in the community. Al...

Plant Culture Equipment.

A detailed description is presented in this paper of small sand and water culture equipment. A number of large out-of-doors sand cultures both for tree and annual crops have also been constructed at the U. S. Regional Salinity Laboratory, Riverside, California. In their general features these latter cultures are like those described in an earlier publication (3). The more significant modificati...
