Background and objectives: Pelargonium graveolens L'Hér. is an essential oil bearing plant used in traditional medicine of Iran for the treatment of inflammatory disease and pain, anxiety, sadness and also for the relief of gastrointestinal symptoms. Its pharmaceutical product is presently used in Iran for the treatment of depression disorders. Since colitis is a brain...

An efficient and reproducible plant regeneration system was developed from cells or tissues of agronomically important Indian sorghum genotypes including 2 commercial cultivars (NSH27 & K8) of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. Callus induction and plant regeneration were achieved on transverse thin cell layers (tTCL) of roots from aseptically germinated 7-day-old seedlings. Callus response depended ...

Eulophia flava (Lindl.) Hook.f. in Thailand has been threatened by agricultural deforestation and city expansion. Efficient seed propagation via tissue culture technique is necessary to enhance the conservation utilization of this orchid. Thus, effects coconut water (CW), benzylaminopurine (BA), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on germination rhizome food reserve were studied. Capsules collected a...

From past to the present, cultural, medicinal, landscape and culinary use of junipers has contrib­uted it being one most widely distributed woody plants in world. Therefore, is so important that finding appropriate production methods obtain quality seedlings line with usage area. In present study, was tried determine best conditions applications on propagation by cuttings three juniper taxa inc...

many factors may influence the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis. this capability may be differ with regard to media compositions, genotype, tissue, organ ontology and the stage of differentiation. the effects of five salicylic acid concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm) on different stages of carrot somatic embryogenesis were studied using petiole and root secondary phloem explants as sta...

The experiment was conducted to study the response of summer onion N2 and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA). consisted two factors. Factor A: 4 levels Nitrogen viz. N0-0kg (control), N1-90kg ha-1, N2-110kg ha-1 N3-130kg B: NAA H0-0ppm, H1- 50ppm, H2-100ppm H3-150ppm. laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Results revealed that terms nitrogen, highest bulb diameter (4....

Linear increments in ferulic acid concentration produce logarithmic increases in the ferulic acid-induced lag periods prior to the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid in a system containing 2,4-dichlorophenol and MnCl(2) in acetate buffer at pH 5.6. Maintaining the ratio of indole-3-acetic acid to ferulic acid constant at 100 while linearly raising the ferulic acid concentrat...
