Salinity of soil is a major abiotic stress limiting the crop production and growth of peppermint. The aim of study was assessment the plant growth regulators efficacy (salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), brassinosteroids (BRs), and non-application of hormone as control) on physiological traits of peppermint under salinity stress (0, 30, and 60 mM). The experiment was conducted using the co...

Background: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum - graecum L.) is an annual medicinal plant belongs to the legume family and has anti-diabetic, anti-fertility, anticancer, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic and hypocholesterolaemic effects. Objective: Evaluation of growth and trigonelline /mucilage content in fenugreek under application of plant growth regulators (PGR). Methods: The experiment was conduc...

A high throughput regeneration protocol has been developed for Lagerstroemia speciosa through node explants under the regime of various plant growth regulators (PGRs). This can provide an alternative mode to seed-grown plants and minimize cost–time regeneration, significantly. Murashige Skoog (MS) medium containing combinations PGRs exhibited a marked stimulatory effect on morphogenesis. Of tri...

shoot tips from actively growing, greenhouse maintained plants of kalanchoe blossfeldiana were cultured in vitro for shoot proliferation and root initiation on murashige and skoog (ms) basal medium supplemented with naa and ba, both in concentrations of 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mg l-1. results showed that the maximum plantlets height (7.012 cm), node number (4.516), root number (8.860) and roo...

Communication between distant organs is an essential feature of multicellular organisms. Plants are no exception to this rule and long-range signals are involved in the regulation of many aspects of organ growth and development. In this review, we use two specific examples to illustrate this point. The first is a novel upwardly mobile hormone involved in the regulation of shoot branching. The s...

"Assisted phytoextraction" involving application of chemical additives such as plant growth regulators (PGRs) has become a trend in phytoremediation technology. This study identifies a cost-effective, naturally available crude PGR (PGR1) that produces the same effects as the commercial PGR (PGR2), increasing metal uptake by plants and the reduction of metal stress. Assisted phytoextraction by p...

Dog rose (Rosa canina) has been using as a rootstock for ornamental roses also it is one of the medicinal plants. It can be propagated under in vitro conditions. After removing chilling requirement of buds, axillary wood buds of dog rose were cut in three nodal positions (lower, middle and terminal) on the stem and then explants after decontamination, cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS ...

In vitro the production of natural diosgenin from callus culture became an alternative biotechnological approach to production. This study describes effect plant growth regulators (PGRs) on induction and using different elicitors in induce (Diosgenin) parts Balanites Aegyptiacae extract cell lines. Root, stem, leaves calture B. aegyptiacae, were raised Murashing skoog Medium (MS) supplemented w...

Mangrove forests in the Arabian Gulf are under continuous threat. To increase plantations of gray mangrove ( Avicennia marina ) United Arab Emirates (UAE), 27 endophytic actinobacterial isolates obtained from roots were vitro pre-screened to detect polyamines (PAs) [putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm)]. We also determined abilities PA-producing enhancing growth A. greenhouse ...

Plant growth regulators play important roles in plant growth and development, but little is known about the roles of plant growth regulators in manifestation yield components, yield and seed qualities of soybean. An attempt has been made to elaborate the subject with emphasis on important plant growth regulators viz. auxins, cytokinins, Gibberellins and abscisic acid and others. Some environmen...
