An investigation was carried out to decipher the effect of genotypes and concentrations growth regulators for callus induction subsequent plant regeneration from mature seeds rice. Two local rice cultivars viz. Nayanmony Kalomona two 2, 4-D NAA were used evaluate their performance. The cultured under aseptic condition onto MS basal medium at varying combinations (1.0, 1.5 2.0 mgL- 1) (0.0, 0.5 ...

orchids are one of the most popular plants in the world and among them phalaenopsis genus have the most sales in a global market. because of its hard propagation, micropropagation technique has been employed recently. in this study, we tried to find out useful protocol for commercial production through in vitro culture. at first, for seed capsules production, flowers were pollinated with hand i...

abstract an investigation was performed in a commercial orchard in shiraz to study the effect of time of application of cuso4 and streptomycin on quality and seedlessness of grapevine (vitis vinifera l. cv. ‘siyah-e-shiraz’). the experiment was conducted as completely randomized block design with 3 replications. plants were treated with 25 mgl-1 cuso4. 5h2o and 200mgl-1 streptomycin 2,4 and 6 d...

mGluRs (metabotropic glutamate receptors) are G-protein-coupled receptors that play an important neuromodulatory role in the brain. Glutamatergic transmission itself plays a fundamental role in the simple nervous system of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, but little is known about the contribution made by mGluR signalling. The sequenced genome of C. elegans predicts three distinct gen...

The physicochemical characterization of the textile industry effluent collected from Oswal Textile Industries, Ludhiana (Punjab.) India has been carried out and the results showed that the temperature (40°C), pH (8.00), Biological Oxygen Demand (260 mgl –1 ), Chemical Oxygen Demand (790 mgl –1 ), Total Suspended Solids (2000 mgl –1 ), Total Dissolved Solids (7000 mgl –1 and colour over the pres...

to investigate the effects of intercropping of basil (ocimum basiilicum l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.), different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on basil and cowpea yield, an experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011. experimental factor were included weed treatment (weeding and unweeding), three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1), different planting ratio, (p1: ...

Our aim was to describe sperm parameters in residents from Northern Chile. We evaluated in 101 volunteers (18 and 30 years old) urinary and drinking water Boron levels using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry; semen parameters were measured with standardized methods. Each individual was categorized in 3 levels of exposure: low (B levels in urine ≤ 2.94 mgL1 or tap water ≤ 3.0 mgL-1), ...

Cinnamomum tamala is a multipurpose economically important plant. The leaves and bark are used as spice and contributes to the different ‘Ayurvedic’ drug preparation. Due to over-exploitation for spice and medicines, the species is vulnerable in its natural habitat. In the present study, a successful attempt was made for callus mediated plant regeneration of the species from leaf and zygotic em...

Background & Aim: Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora H.B.K.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. Select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success Experimental: To evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for Lippia micropropagation (1- MS medium supplemented with BAP (3 mgL-1) + IBA ...
