The influence of two carbon sources, sorbitol and sucrose on In vitro shoot proliferation and rooting of peach rootstock GF 677 was compared at 15, 30, 45 and 60 g l concentrations. The highest number of shoots per proliferated explant, usable shoots and shoots having maximum fresh weight were obtained on sorbitol at 30 g l. GF 677 does not seem to be an efficient utilizer of sucrose for In vit...

The distribution of radiocesium was examined in bamboo shoots, Phyllostachys pubescens, collected from 10 sites located some 41 to 1140 km from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Japan, in the Spring of 2012, 1 year after the Fukushima nuclear accident. Maximum activity concentrations for radiocesium ¹³⁴Cs and ¹³⁷Cs in the edible bamboo shoot parts, 41 km away from the Fukushima Daiichi...

In vitro shoot tips of Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don.) Endl.—including a juvenile, two adult, and two rejuvenated adult clones—were examined for differences in basic physiological characteristics. Moisture contents were the same, around 85%, for all tissues regardless of origin. Growth rates, determined by fresh weight increase and shoot elongation, were higher for the juvenile and rejuvenated s...

the influence of explant nodal positions on the in vitro shoot growth and proliferation were studied in the two rose cvs. ‘bianca’ and ‘el torro’. third, fourth and fifth nodal explants were cultured on the modified ms medium supplemented with 1.0 and 5.0 mg/l ba. in both the cultivars, higher rate of proliferation (‘bianca’ 3.75; ‘el torro’ 2.65) were obtained from the explants distal to the a...

Pistachio is one of the most important commercial trees grown in Iran arid and semi-arid regions. Salt stress has been reported to cause an inhibition of growth and development, reduction in many plant characteristics. Adverse effects of salinity on growth, and characteristics of pistachio have demonstrated. Salicylic acid (SA) is known to have an affect on normal conditions and stresses in pla...
