Rapid In Vitro Multiplication of Non-Runnering Fragaria vesca Genotypes from Seedling Shoot Axillary Bud Explants

IN VITRO FLOWER INDUCTION AND MULTIPLE SHOOT REGENERATION STUDIES IN CYPERUS SCARIOSUS R.Br FROM AXILLARY BUD EXPLANTS

Cyperus scariosus R.Br is a valuable multipurpose medicinal herb, which belongs to family Cyperaceae. It possesses astringent, anti-inflammatory, diaphoretic, diuretic, cordial and stomach ache properties. An attempt has been made to study in vitro regeneration, floral bud induction, multiple shooting and multiple rooting has been achieved via healthy, moderate axillary buds as explants. The ax...

IN VITRO REGENERATION OF SHOOT AND CORM FROM THE DIF'FERENT EXPLANTS OF CROCUS SATWUS L

Different explants of Crocus sativus L. such as corm, style, ovary, petal, anther and leaf were cultured on LS and MS media supplemented with NAA and BAP or 2,4-D plus BAP at different combinations. Shoot and corm induction occurred in addition to the formation of other organs. Efficient plantlet regeneration with strong roots occurred at 1 mg 1-I of both NAA and BAP. An increase in 2,4-D l...

Bud Formation and Shoot Development In Vitro: Observations on Stem and Bud Explants of Psychotria punctata (Rubiaceae)

High-Frequency in Vitro Direct Shoot Regeneration from Nodal Explants of Hyssop Plant (Hyssopus officinalis L.)

Considering great medicinal value of Hyssopus officinalis L. and possibility of its mass production through in vitro culture, two individual experiments was conducted. Effect of various concentrations (0, 2.2, 4.4 and 11 µmol) of TDZ and BAP in combination with 1 µmol of IAA on direct regeneration from nodal explants were assessed. Significant difference between treatments was observed (P≤ 0.01...

In vitro multiple shoot induction through axillary bud of Asclepias curassavica L. – A valuable medicinal plant

Micropropagation of Asclepias curassavica L. a medicinal plant valued for its medicinal properties has been carried out using two different plant culture media, Murashige and Skoog (MS) and L2. L2 medium proved to be superior to MS medium in terms of shoot multiplication and shoot length. Nodal explants showed enhanced organogenic response than shoot tip explants. Basal nodal explants produced ...
