Somatic Embryogenesis: An Alternative Method for in vitro Micropropagation

Plant tissue culture is an alternative method of commercial propagation and is being used widely for the commercial propagation of a large number of plant species, including many medicinal plants. Somatic embryogenesis is a process by which asexual or somatic cells are induced to form embryos in culture. Somatic embryogenesis is a multi-step regeneration process starting with formation of pro-e...

Biomass allocation to leaves, stems and roots: meta-analyses of interspecific variation and environmental control.

We quantified the biomass allocation patterns to leaves, stems and roots in vegetative plants, and how this is influenced by the growth environment, plant size, evolutionary history and competition. Dose-response curves of allocation were constructed by means of a meta-analysis from a wide array of experimental data. They show that the fraction of whole-plant mass represented by leaves (LMF) in...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Lateral auxin transport in stems and roots.

The lateral movement of auixin has been stuidied with bioassays and also by application of '4C-IAA. Both techniqutes have demonstrated that the tupper hal,f of a horizontally positioned stem or root contains at least 30 to 45 % of the total auxin present in the tissuie (2). However, such an auxin gradient is difficult to reconcile with the Cholodny-WVent theory of root geotropism becatuse it is...
