Tissue Cultures of Callus Derived from Avocado Fruit
نویسنده
چکیده
Several years ago we started a broad research project dealing with the relation between the level of endogenous growth substances and the development of avocado fruit. In the course of the study, we attempted to grow cultures of avocado fruit tissue and to determine their response to the addition of growth substance. It was hoped that in this way we might learn something about the special nature of the avocado fruit, in whose pericarp cell division is constantly occurring, even after attaining maturity.

Cytokinin Activity in Avocado Seeds during Fruit Development.
The soybean callus bioassay was used to determine levels of cytokinin activity in avocado (Persea americana) seeds.In the embryo, levels are high during the early stages of development, but diminish as the fruit grows. The level of cytokinin activity in the endosperm is very high throughout the period that this tissue exists. The seed coats have very high activity levels while the fruit is youn...

The Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. is the dicotyledonous herbs of the Asteraceae family that is important in medical industry. The biological active compound of S. marianum is a mixture of several flavonolignals generally known as silymarin. The purpose of this study was to optimize S. marianum tissue culture for callus induction, silymarin production and comparison of some biochemical traits be...
متن کاملRipening-related polygalacturonase cDNA from avocado.
During the ripening of avocado (Persea americana) fruit, extensive cell wall degradation leads to a dramatic softening of the mesocarp tissue. Two enzymes have been suggested to play a critica1 role in this ripening-associated cell wall degradation in many fruits, including avocado, viz. cellulase (endo-~-1,4-glucanase) and endo-PG (Awad and Young, 1979; Fischer and Bennett, 1991). Although the...
