Rapid Vegetative Propagation Method for Carob

Self-grafting a simple method for vegetative propagation of apple clonal rootstocks

Clonal Propagation of Carob (ceratonia Siliqua L., Fabaceae)

Mature seeds of carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) were germinated on hormone free MS medium. Efforts were made to develop multiple shoots by using axillary buds of in vitro grown seedlings on MS medium fortified with different concentrations of BA singly and BA in combination with IAA or GA3. Axillary buds produced single shoot with a moderate amount of callus at the base of the explant after c...

Tissue Culture as a Method for Vegetative Propagation of Forest Trees

A review of the world's literature indicates that almost all parts of a plant can be induced to form callus if given the proper stimulus. For some plants the callus can be redifferentiated to form shoots and roots. For others, it is possible to initiate embryoids. There appears to be no reason why forest trees can not be propagated by means of tissue culture. INTRODUCTION Research in propagatio...

Vegetative propagation of Grindelia chiloensis (Asteraceae)

Grindelia chiloensis (Asteraceae) is a shrub native to Patagonia, Argentina, in the process of domestication as a source of resin to complement rosin production by pines. Vegetative propagation to multiply selected genotypes has produced breakthroughs in the cultivation of new crops like jojoba (Simmondsia chinesis). The only available way to propagate Grindelia is by transplanting seedlings or...

Vegetative propagation of Cecropia obtusifolia (Cecropiaceae).

Cecropia is a relatively well-known and well-studied genus in the Neotropics. Methods for the successful propagation of C. obtusifolia Bertoloni, 1840 from cuttings and air layering are described, and the results of an experiment to test the effect of two auxins, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and indole butyric acid (IBA), on adventitious root production in cuttings are presented. In general, C...
