the common reed (phragmites australis) is a perennial weed with the largest geographical distribution of any flowering plant in the world. in this study, 39 populations of common reed were collected and random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers were used to characterize the genetic diversity among these populations. the 16 primers used in this study, amplified 149 scorable rapd bands amon...

Advances in horticulture plant biotechnologies provide new opportunities for researchers to study the field of vegetative propagation and genetic engineering. Developments of clonal propagation methods, especially somatic embryogenesis (SE), have numerous potential applications. This paper reviewed progress of research on SE in horticultural plants in last decade; analyzed plant regeneration ha...

Bixa orellana L., also known as achiote, is a shrub native to tropical regions. It has been arousing the interest of industrial sector due film that covers its seeds, which rich in reddish carotenoid called bixin. Although, traditionally, it sexually propagated through this process can take place vegetative manner. Given economic and social relevance species, aim current study assess both repro...

HIGHLIGHTS Methods to carry out the vegetative and sexual propagation of C. galioides were investigated. Cuttings can be used in without use growth regulators. Gibberellic acid potassium nitrate increased germination percentage seeds. Seeds treated with gibberellic germinated earlier than other treatments.
