Vaccinium fruit ingredients within dietary supplements were identified by comparisons with anthocyanin analyses of known Vaccinium profiles (demonstration of anthocyanin fingerprinting). Available Vaccinium supplements were purchased and analyzed, their anthocyanin profiles (based on high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC] separation) indicated if products' fruit origin listings were auth...

in order to optimize callus induction in pistacia atlantica desf. subsp. kurdica rech. f., the effect of different plant growth regulator (pgr) combinations were studied. inflorescence axis explants were cultured on wpm medium supplemented with 1, 2 and 3 mg/l of tdz or 1, 2 and 3 mg/l of ba, in combination with 1mg/l different auxins: 2, 4-d,  naa  and iba . callus initiation was observed in a...
