Cotton is under the constant threat of leaf curl virus, which is a major constraint for successful production of cotton in the Pakistan. A total of 3338 cotton genotypes belonging to different research stations were screened, but none were found to be resistant against the Burewala strain of cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV). We explored the possibility of transferring virus-resistant genes f...

Thaumetopoea pityocampa larvae are very harmful to pines and they also cause allergic reactions in men and animals. In this study, different concentrations of endosulfan were administered to T. pityocampa larvae via pine needles which were prepared by the dipping method. The data obtained were statistically evaluated using probit analysis and a LC(50/48 hrs) value for T. pityocampa larvae found...

Field trials with Ficus benjamina L.were conducted at the experimental farm of Faculty of Agriculture, University Azad Jiroft in 2012 growth seasons. The aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with gibberellic acid (GA3) and benzyladenine (BA) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.L-1 on the vegetative growth and Photosynthetic pigments of Ficus benjamin...

Inter-sectional hybrids were successfully obtained by the reciprocal crosses between 11 cultivars (including 6 diploids and 5 tetraploids) of Begonia semperflorens (SS & SSSS genomes) and B. 'Orange Rubra' (RR genome) with the aid of in vitro culture of mature or immature seeds on MS medium containing 0.1 mg l(-1) α-naphthylacetic acid, 0.1 mg l(-1) 6-benzyladenine, 10 mg l(-1) gibberellic acid...

Callus induction responses and regeneration through callus-mediated SE were studied from evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) as an important medicinal plant of Onagraceae mainly known for its gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) content. The effects of cytokinins, 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and N-(2-furfurylamino)1-H-purine-6-amine [Kinetin (Kin)] and their concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/l) in ...

objective: to evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of caper (capparis spinosa) under drought stress. methods: factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. first factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/l), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 125 ppm), a...

BACKGROUND The low survival rate of in vitro regenerated Panax ginseng plantlets after transfer to soil is the main obstacle for their successful micropropagation and molecular breeding. In most cases, young plantlets converted from somatic embryos are transferred to soil. METHODS In vitro thickened taproots, which were produced after prolonged culture of ginseng plantlets, were transferred t...

Logarithmic growth rates (either fresh or dry weight basis) of tobacco callus tissues grown on 10(-4) to 10(-1) mum cytokinin are increased if gibberellic acid (10(-3)-2 mum) is incorporated into the medium. At higher (1-10 mum) cytokinin concentrations gibberellic acid has little effect on growth rate but extends the duration of logarithmic growth. The gibberellic acid effect is noticeable onl...

The effects of gibberellic acid on the longevity and elongation of variously aged, debladed petioles of Coleus blumei were studied, with particular reference to the hypotheses 1) that auxin increases longevity by increasing growth, and 2) that gibberellic acid acts by increasing the endogenous levels of auxin.Gibberellic acid, substituted for the leaf blades, significantly decreased longevity o...

Hepatorenalni sindrom (HRS) predstavlja reverzibilnu bubrežnu insuficijenciju kod bolesnika sa uznapredovalom cirozom ili akutnom insuficijencijom jetre . Samo 3,5% bolesnika oporavi se spontano od hepatorenalnog sindroma . Zato HRS ima najlošiju prognozu od svih komplikacija uznapredovale ciroze jetre i jetrine insuficijencije. Novembra 2005. International Ascites Club revidirao je kriterijume...
