Palm Pollen Extracts as Plant Growth Substances for Banana Tissue Culture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pollen extracts of date palm were used in tissue culture medium for banana as growth substances in comparison with growth regulators. Pollen extracts contain auxin (IBA) and tryptophan (auxin precursor). Water pollen extract (WPE) contains higher concentration of indoles compared with ethanol pollen extract (EPE). Most of treated plants showed highly growth characteristics such as shoot number, shoot length, root number, root length, fresh weight and dry weight compared to either the cytokinin (benzyl adenine) and/or the auxin (indole butyric acid and naphthalene acetic acid). On the other hand, high concentration of pollen extracts concentration in banana tissue culture medium inhibited the growth. The electrophoretic profile of subunits of explants obtained from different treatments was similar to the profile of MS explants. In conclusion, natural extracts such as pollen extract of date palm provided to be an excellent economic resources as growth substances.

Extended Abstract 1.Introduction One of the tissues that is affected by physical activity is bone. Bone is one of the tissues that needs to receive mechanical load to have normal function as a key factor in strengthening bone mass (2). Evidence shows that the mechanical load resulting from physical activity activates a set of proteins involved in the process of osteoblast activation and inhib...

In order to improve the shoot proliferation rate of ‘Dwarf Cavendish’ banana shoot tip cultures, polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) was employed at concentrations of 2, 4, and 6% (w/v). The medium without PEG was considered as negative control. An increasing of shoot proliferation was achieved in MS medium containing 2% PEG. Furthermore, application of 2% PEG significantly increased the shoot dry we...

Phytochemicals produced by plants, including at flowers, function in protection against plant diseases, and have a long history of use against trypanosomatid infection. Floral nectar and pollen, the sole food sources for many species of insect pollinators, contain phytochemicals that have been shown to reduce trypanosomatid infection in bumble and honey bees when fed as isolated compounds. Nect...
