Economically, rapeseed is one of the most important crops in the world. Over the past decades, rapeseed research has been focused on improving biotechnological methods to facilitate breeding. The effectiveness of these methods depends on efficient tissue culture techniques. The aim of the present study was to establish an efficient protocol for regeneration of rapeseed. It was conducted in thre...

Many investigators are interested in finding the new cultural systems that can support the in vitro development of pre-implantation embryos better. Previous studies suggested that growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) are important in pre-implantation embryo development and implantation process. On the other hand, it is very important to support post thaw development of frozen em...

this review article investigates a comprehensive description of the factors, methods, strategies, approaches and prerequisites influencing in vitro micropaopagation and the amount of their use across the world. the findings presented here are the results of the study of several hundred papers published all over the world. tissue culture techniques are routinely used for micropropagation. enhanc...

Cereus peruvianus (Cactaceae) is an important medical plant. The study was carried out on callus induction of Cereus jamacaru f. monstrosus and Cereus hildmannianus fma monstrosa (Cereus peruvianus). Apical and lateral explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog media with factorial combinations of the auxins indole-3acetic acid (NAA), 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and N-(2-furanyl-...

Somatic embryogenesis was induced in hypocotyl explants of geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum) cultured on media supplemented with various concentrations of N-phenyl-N'-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea (thidiazuron). In less than 2 weeks, somatic embryos were observed in treatments containing levels of thidiazuron (TDZ) ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 micromolar. The use of N(6)-benzylaminopurine in combination...

Background: Lilium (Lilium longiflorum Thunb.) belongs to the family Liliaceae and is a native of Northern Hemisphere (up South Canada Siberia). Conventionally, lilium can easily be propagated by sexual asexual methods propagation but these prevalent are not capable meeting increasing demand in domestic global market. Generally, through bulbs which has bottlenecks like high cost planting materi...

Lycopene is present in a range of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially in the leaves of Barringtonia racemosa. The traditional lycopene extraction from the plant is being employed instead of an easy propagation technique like cell culture process from the leaf explants. We intend to assess how lycopene could be extracted via tissue culture under light (illuminance: 8,200 lux under white fluo...

In traditional in vitro culture, explants grow enclosed in a non-ventilated vessel at high relative humidity with phytohormones continuously present and sucrose as the main energy source. Under such conditions explant growth is far from normal. In this paper, explants of Actinidia deliciosa were cultured in MS medium supplemented with sucrose, benzyladenine and gibberellic acid under autotrophi...
