In vitro propagation of rose (Rosa indica) as well as rose breeding is a valuable economic enterprise and has received highest importance globally including Indian subcontinent. The development of new cultivars for commerce is faced with new challenges. In vitro micropropagation protocols of varieties of roses have been established but very few reports on the clonal propagation of local cultiva...

Superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons taken from perinatal rats and dissociated in culture develop cholinergic properties . This report examines this "plasticity" of neurotransmitter function with regard to its dependence on the stage of neuronal development. Explants of SCG from rats ranging in age from 2 d to adult were cultured, and the number of neurons surviving after 6 wk in culture wa...

Background In vitro organogenesis is one of the key techniques associated with genetic transformation, as it determines the successful regeneration of transgenic plants after co-cultivation with bacteria. Therefore, the development of efficient regeneration protocols is the most critical step in developing genetic transformation. Protocols have been developed for several species of eucalyptus. ...

different explants of crocus sativus l. such as corm, style, ovary, petal, anther and leaf were cultured on ls and ms media supplemented with naa and bap or 2,4-d plus bap at different combinations. shoot and corm induction occurred in addition to the formation of other organs. efficient plantlet regeneration with strong roots occurred at 1 mg 1-i of both naa and bap. an increase in 2,4-d level...

Introduction Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is a commercial plant which is valued for its aroma and its medicinal and therapeutic properties. Although India has been the primary exporter of cumin seeds and cumin oil in the world. However Turkey and Iran are providing stiff competition now. India, Turkey, Syria, China, the US, Iran, Indonesia, Sudan, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, and Libya are the leadin...
