Background Commercial micropropagation of teak (Tectona grandisL.f.) has been achieved for a number of years in countries such as Thailand, India and Malaysia. This has led to the availability of elite genotypes for large scale plantation production. Teak has been shown to develop arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal associations [1], and this has been attributed to increasing productivity [2]. I...

Origanum acutidens (HAND.-MAZZ.) IETSWAART is a promising ornamental plant that can be widely used in landscape management. It is endemic to Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey. Tissue culture has not been used to micropropagate it. The study reports stem node explants from one-week-old seedlings of the plant for successful micropropagation. The stem nodes were cultured on MS medium containing 0...

Abstract Background Bacterial canker and subsequent gummosis are caused by multiple pathogens lead to significant yield productivity losses in sweet cherry cultivation Turkey. This study identified that Pseudomonas syringae pathovars were responsible for bacterial on orchards using classical molecular methods evaluated the biocontrol effects of bacteriophages against P. pv. syringae. Results Pa...

ABSTRACT Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex Hook. F.; Asteraceae), is one of the most economically important ornamental plants due to its aesthetic value. In present study, we established a micropropagation method for large-scale production quality planting material gerbera ‘Pink Melody’. Eighty-six percent capitulum explants produced adventitious shoots (15.44 ± 0.34 per capitulum) on Murashi...

Viruses are responsible for more than 50% of annual potato tuber yield losses and cause great economic damage. The traditional Croatian cultivar ‘Brinjak’ is important local growers because its economically profitable production as a gene pool future breeding programs. However, the full genetic potential cannot be exploited due to virus infection. In this study, we attempted eliminate M (PVM) S...

The “soilless” cultivation of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in containers with peat as substrate allows overcoming the problem unsuitable soils, thus enhancing spread this crop new areas. Since use presents several critical environmental and economic sustainability issues, evaluation alternative solutions is required. effectiveness compost produced solid digestate residues from vine-wine ...

Passiflora setacea D.C. is a wild species native to the Brazilian Cerrado, with agronomic and medicinal potentials. The cultivar BRS Pérola do Cerrado first registered protected of has become an alternative passion fruit market due its desirable characteristics for food, ornamental pharmaceutic industries. Since plant tissue culture techniques are considered important tools large-scale p...

Abstract In vitro culture is not only known for the mass propagation of medicinal plants, it can also be used to boost accumulation useful metabolites. This work was aimed at studying potential elicitation on antioxidant secondary metabolites in different Musa species accessions. Shoot cultures selected six spp. accessions were micropropagated Murashige and Skoog mineral-based medium, supplemen...

Hybrids of Solanum melongena and S. aethiopicum are of interest as rootstocks of eggplant, as they are highly vigorous and can incorporate resistance to several diseases. However, hybridization between both species is difficult. Therefore, protocols for in vitro culture are of great interest for their micropropagation and biotechnological breeding. We assessed the organogenesis response from le...

A protocol for in vitro cloning of mature plants of Citrus limon using nodal shoot segments has been developed. Three to four shoots were induced per axillary meristems on MS medium amended with 9 μM BAP. Repeated transfer of the initial explants for up to six passages on MS medium [having 50% of the original concentrations of NH4NO3 and KNO3, and supplement of 250 mg L (NH4)2SO4] with 0.22 μM ...
