Berginia ligulata is medicinally significant and endangered plant of the western Himalayan Region. This used to treat many diseases such as urinary problems heart problems. By using leaf explant, an efficient rapid micropropagation protocol was developed. In in-vitro propagation, MS medium supplemented with benzyl amino purine (BAP), 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) indol-3-acetic (IAA) induce m...

achillea millefolium belonging to the astreaceae family is an endangered medicinal plant of jordan and of its neighboring countries. as an alternative to seed propagation, an efficient micropropagation of a. millefolium and its subsequent rooting were developed as an option for its in vitro conservation. a maximum of 5.9 shoots per microshoot were obtained on murashige and skoog agar medium sup...

Aeroponic culture is an alternative method for optimizing growth of different plants in controlled conditions. Aeroponic systems are an efficient tool for the root studies and improving medicinal root production. In order to study the feasibility of valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) production in aeroponic systems and assessing the effects of different NAA concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have an important role in callus induction and organogenesis of plant explants cultured in vitro conditions. Callus has a proper potential for plant regeneration through indirect organogenesis and embryogenesis as well suspension culture, genetic transformation and production of secondary metabolites. In current experiment, leaf explants of Petunia × hybrida F1 we...

abstract balanced nutrition and soil organic mater are among most important factors affecting yield and quality of grape (vitis vinifera cv.peykani). humic acid as an organic acid derived from humus and other organic sources, in accompany with zinc, and acetic acid can reduce deficiency symptoms in grape. to study the effects of zinc, humic acid and acetic acid on yield and yield components, an...

In this study, a correlation is described between low cytoplasmic pH, measured with the fluorescent probes 2[prime],7[prime]-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein (acetoxymethyl ester) and bis- [3-propyl-5-oxoisoxazol-4-yl]pentamethine oxonol, and the production of secondary metabolites for several plant cell-suspension systems. Anthraquinone production in Morinda citrifolia suspens...

ABSTRACT- The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of chemical thinning on seasonal variations of leaf and fruit mineral compositions of ‘Soltani’ apple trees. Treatments, including unthinned control, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 5 and 10 mg L-1, naphthaeneacetamide (NAD) at 25 and 50 mg L-1, benzyladenine (BA) at 50 and 100 mg L-1 and carbaryl at 500 and 1000 mg L-1 were appl...
