Raising cultures of proliferating shoots of female and male plants of Carica papaya through shoot apices taken from mature plants was difficult because of high incidence of endogenous bacterial contamination. Whilst they were easily raised through culture of young inflorescences tips of female and male plants. There was no difference in the requirement of nutrients and growth regulators for pro...

Successful in vitro propagation of clonal apple rootstock MM106 was achieved by culturing axillary buds on MS basal medium with BAP (1 mg/L), GA3 (0.5 mg/L) and IBA (0.1 mg/L). Use of liquid medium (LM) in initial cultures reduced phenol exudation to a greater extent and gave maximum sprouting percentage when transferred to solid MS medium. Phloroglucinol (PG) did not enhance sprouting of buds ...

The family Araucariaceae encompasses several evergreen forest tree species, which has a high ornamental value due to being a good specimen and having symmetrical branches. Conventional propagation of Araucaria excelsa R. Br. var. glauca by cutting has limited success because of topophysis and difficult-to-root characteristics, and grafting is accompanying incompatibility. The aim of this resear...

Stabilized shoot cultures initiated from crown material of six adult Quercus robur L. trees and from basal epicormic shoots of a Quercus rubra L. tree showed good in vitro rooting capacity. An initial five-day dark period generally improved the rooting response but was detrimental to plantlet quality. There were clonal differences in rooting capacity. The concentration and exposure time of the ...

the purpose of this study was to compare rooting methods in tissue culture regenerated-clones in sugar beet and their adaptation to environmental conditions and determine clones ploidy stability. two kinds of explants including shoot apex of seedlings and inflorescence stem pieces were used for preparation and propagation of the clones in media. in the next step, three rooting and adaptation me...

An efficient plant regeneration protocol was developed from leaf and internode (stem) explants of Bacopa monniera L. on MS basal medium, supplemented with Cytokinins like BAP, KN, and TDZ used singly. The leaf cultures expressed maximum plant regeneration potential with 138.9 ± 0.50 shoots per explants on MS + 2.0 mg/ l BAP. The in vitro regenerated dwarf shoots were further elongated on MS med...
