Azadirachta indica A. Juss., (Neem), a prodigious multipurpose tree, has immense potential to benefit mankind and protect the environment. In order investigate effects of three different explants for its regeneration potential, de embryonated cotyledon, immature zygotic embryo nodal segments from 30 year old neem plus tree were used. Half strength MS medium with benzyl amino purine (3 mg/L) nap...

due to physiological disorder, primary bud necrosis (pbn) in grapevine is a great problem in vineyards, resulting in reduced yield. primary bud necrosis (pbn) is physiological disorder resulting in the death of the primary bud. the present study conducted through a light on this critical problem in a vineyard of cisakht region. a factorial experiment with three levels of cold temperature (-10, ...

Clonal plants have been shown to successfully survive in stressful environments, including salinity stress, drought and depleted nutrients through clonal integration between original and subsequent ramets. However, relatively little is known about whether clonal integration can enhance the performance of clonal plants under alkalinity stress. We investigated the effect of clonal integration on ...

In temperate climates, bud break and shoot flower emission of deciduous fruit tree species are regulated by precise chilling heating requirements. To investigate this aspect, sixty-one accessions European pear (Pyrus communis L.) collected in Sicily were phenotyped for three consecutive years harvest date, sprouting blooming to determine both the requirements threshold temperature using Chill D...

Six tetraploid Alstroemeria clones were micropropagated by rhizome multiplication, a system whereby the shoots were cut off from the rhizome and discarded. In a three-week subculture interval, the average rhizome multiplication rate for all genotypes was 2.3. In one selected genotype the discarded shoots were used to initiate another micropropagation system: the leafy explant micropropagation s...
