A procedure was developed for in vitro propagation of Curculigo latifolia through shoot tip culture. Direct regeneration and indirect scalp induction of Curculigo latifolia were obtained from shoot tip grown on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of thidiazuron and indole-3-butyric acid. Maximum response for direct regeneration in terms of percentage of explant...

there is substantial diversity in achillea biebersteinii plants in iran. it has considerable different biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, insecticidal, herbicidal and wound healing. research improvement for medicinal plants depends on the available genetic diversity. the assessment of genetic variability could increase the information for breeding programs. ...

An experiment was carried out in a roadside agroforestry system established along farm roadsides of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, to investigate the effects of pruning and pollarding on shoot development in Sesbania grandiflora L. Six treatment combinations with the stock plants studied during the period from August to September, 2007. The results revealed that the different p...

in order to study the effect of intensity and exposure duration magnetic field on wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seed germination an experiment was conducted in laboratory of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment was including 11 treatments as three level of magnetic field intensities (pretreatment of seeds with 50, 100 and 150 mt magnetic field) and three exposure durations (10, 2...

Na SO induced regulation of some key morpho-physiological characteristics in Sorghum were 2 4 examined to investigate the effect of Na SO on germination and morphology of Sorghum that was conducted 2 4 at Botany Department University of Gujrat. The variety used in this experiment was SSG-77. Plants were subjected for 30 days to sand culture that were salinized with four salt levels [T (control)...

peppermint (mentha piperita l.) is one of the most important plants producing essential oil. an experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications to study the effect of salinity stress on growth parameters, essential oil percent of peppermint. 4 levels of salinity solution containing 0, 50, 100 and 200 mmol nacl was applied in irrigation plantings in a gree...

24-Epibrassinolide belongs to the brassinosteroid family of plant hormones, and carbenoxolone is a synthetic analogue of glycyrrhizic acid that inhibits enzymes important in steroid and prostaglandin action in animals. The e€ect of these compounds on root nodulation, root growth and shoot growth of Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Tracy M was examined. Epibrassinolide reduced total nodulation, plant ...

this study was conducted to find out the influence of in vitro salinity on growth parameters shoot length, number of leaves, number of new buds, the chlorophyll, chlorosis and necrosis and absorption of sodium, chloride, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus of pear (pyrus communis cv. dargazi) in vitro propagated shoots. the experiment was conducted as a complete randomized design with 5 salinity...

Tissue culture is an attractive alternative for plant propagation. Micropropagation is a technique to ensure a constant and uniform source of ornamental plants. Matthiola incana is an important ornamental species mainly cultivate by seed. Matthiola incana seeds were germinated on solid MS medium without plant growth regulators. Shoot proliferation and root formation are possible using kinetin (...

In order to explore the mechanism of delayed and uneven germination in sharp tooth oak (Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata) (STO), mechanical scarification techniques were used to study STO root and shoot germination and growth. The techniques used were: removing cup scar (RS), removing the pericarp (RP), and cutting off 1/2 (HC) and 2/3 (TC) cotyledons. Germination percentage and root and shoot ...
