dog rose (rosa canina l.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as rosa hybrid and rosa floribunda. in vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and disease-free plants. micropropagation of rosa canina l. was revised, usin...

fars province is one of the natural habitats of pyrus species in iran. harvesting of fruits, deforestation, expansion of agriculture and overgrazing in recent years has threatened the wild pear open forests and imposed detrimental effects on their natural regeneration, therefore, investigation on propagation of wild pear species for afforestation is needed. this research was carried out to deve...

in the present study, an efficient protocol has been developed for callus induction and production of ra in callus culture of satureja khuzistanica for the first time. in vitro callus induction was achieved from young shoot tip explants cultured on ms and b5 media supplemented with different concentrations of iba (0.1, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 mgl-1) solely or in combination with cytokinins bap and kin...

Wood vinegar is a substance, derived from cooling black carbon fire, which could be used instead of chemical materials in the agriculture industry as an organic compound. In order to study the effectiveness of pine wood vinegar on physiological and photosynthesis traits of cucumber, two experiments were conducted based on a completely randomized design with six treatments including 0, 1250, 200...

Frequency of somaclonal variation in embryogenic calli and plants of Olea europaea L cv.Kroneiki derived from somatic embryogenesis were examined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Radicle and cotyledon (proximal part) of mature zygotic embryo were cultured in OMc medium supplemented with IBA (5 mgL-1) and 2-ip (0.5 mgL-1). Somatic embryogenesis was induced in calli of radic...

OBJECTIVE To compare concentration of contrast medium for vascular opacification at ascending aorta using retrospective reconstruction of coronary CT angiography. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. MATERIAL AND METHOD Eighty-four patients undergoing coronary CT angiography with 16 multi-detector rows at Siriraj Hospital between September 2003 and July 2004 were included in this study. The pa...

A fundamental feature of bacterial evolution is a succession of adaptive mutational sweeps when fitter mutants take over a population. To understand the processes involved in mutational successions, Escherichia coli continuous cultures were analyzed for changes at two loci where mutations provide strong transport advantages to fitness under steady-state glucose limitation. Three separate sweeps...
