Effect of Various Soil Medium on Seed Germination of Simmondsia Chinensis (link) Schneider (jojoba) under in Vivo Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
The present work was conducted to elucidate the effect of different soil mediums in various ratios on seed germination efficiency and growth of seedling of Simmondsia chinensis under in vivo conditions. The highest germination (94%) was recorded for seeds cultivated in S1 medium containing desert soil and Farm Yard Manure (FYM) (2:1) followed by S4 medium (90%) having desert soil, clay, FYM (1:1:2), S3 medium (76%) in 2:1:1 composition and then to S2 medium (65%) germination in (1:2:1) ratio. Although, S. chinensis display better growth in desert soil, clay and FYM (1:1:2) yet in vivo (nursery) conditions they could raise potentially into healthy plantlets for successful establishment in the field. The present investigation could be of immense significance in selecting the soil type for commercialisation of this crop and improving their production to meet the market demand.

In vitro propagation of jojoba.
Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schn.) is a nontraditional crop in arid and semi-arid areas. Vegetative propagation can be achieved by layering, grafting, or rooting semi-hardwood cuttings, but the highest number of possible propagules is limited by the size of the plants and time of the year. Micropropagation is highly recommended strategy for obtaining jojoba elite clones. For culture ini...
متن کاملDevelopment and properties of a wax ester hydrolase in the cotyledons of jojoba seedlings.
The activity of a wax ester hydrolase in the cotyledons of jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seedlings increased drastically during germination, parallel to the development of the gluconeogenic process. The enzyme at its peak of development was obtained in association with the wax body membrane, and its properties were studied. It had an optimal activity at alkaline pH (8.5-9). The apparent K(m) va...

متن کاملNucleotide Sequence of a Complementary DNA Clone Encoding Stearoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Desaturase from Simmondsia chinensis.
Stearoyl-ACP' desaturase (EC 1.14.99.6) converts stearoyl[ 18:0]-ACP to oleoyl[ 18:1(9)]-ACP in the unsaturated fatty acid synthesis of plants and plays a role in the regulation of fatty acid composition of plant membranes and seed oils (1). Several cDNA clones ofmRNAs encoding plant stearoylACP desaturase have now been described (2-4). The coding sequences for the mature enzyme are highly homo...
