Vegetative propagation of Rambutan (Nepheliumlappaceum) by marcotting: effect of indole-3-butyric acid concentration

Rambutan tree (Nepheliumlappaceum L.) is an important but a lesser known fruit tree in Ghana and has several nutritional and medicinal uses. Efforts to establish plantation of Rambutan in Ghana to ensure its sustainable use is challenged with unavailable planting materials because the seeds are recalcitrant in nature, loses viability easily when exposed to dryness. Seeds are therefore sown dire...

Investigation of the Effect of Topography on Vegetative and Propagation Characteristics of Amygdalus scoparia in South Khorasan Range Ecosystems

Study of vegetation and environmental factors is considered as one of the important aspects in the management and conservation of natural ecosystems. This research investigates the effect of altitude from sea level (ASL) (in four classes: less than 1600 m, 1600-1800, 2000-1800 and more than 2000 m) and the direction of slope (in four main directions: north, south, east and west) on vegetative a...

Homoplasmic Stability and Cytoplasmic Inheritence of DARPin G3 Scaffold Protein in Generative and Vegetative Propagation of Transplastoic Tobacco Plants

Plastid engineering gives numerous benefits for the next generation of transgenic technology, consisting of the convenient use of transgene stacking and the production of high expression levels of recombinant proteins. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPin) are relatively small non-immunoglobulin scaffold proteins that bind to their specific target with high affinity. The G3 is a type of DAR...
