Benzyladenine (BA) increases the rate of expansion of dark-grown sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cotyledons. The hormone slightly enhances the development of the two glyoxysomal enzymes, isocitrate lyase and malate synthetase, during the first 3 days of germination and greatly accelerates their decay in the 2 following days. The levels of the peroxisomal enzymes, glycolate oxidase and glyoxyla...

Benzyladenine (BA) treatment was found to induce chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) synthesis after it had stopped in primary leaves of light-grown intact bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The leaves were treated with BA from 7 days after sowing. Chloroplasts were isolated and the ctDNA content per chloroplast was determined. Chloroplast division occurred until 13 days after sowing in untreated leaves....

The experiment were performed on the broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica) at an a private farm in, Tema, city, Sohag, Egypt located N 26° 52' 12.1908, E 31° 24' during two successive winter seasons of 2018 and 2019 respectively, to study effect foliar applications with carbon nanotube (CNTs), benzyladenine (BA) combined them vegetative growth, head yield quality in clay loam soil. CNTs 3 g...

Rumex vesicarius L .commonly known as” Bladder dock or Chukkakura” is a renowned medicinal plant, which belongs to the family polygonaceae.It posses anti inflammatory, antimicrobial, analgesic, antiviral, antioxidant, cordial and stomachache properties. An attempt has been made to study clonal propagation of this important medicinal plant from nodal segments as explants. These explants were ino...

Eucalyptus gunnii Hook microcuttings, obtained in vitro through axillary bud stimulation, show different rooting responses on the same rooting medium depending on the physiological state induced by cytokinins used in the previous multiplication medium. 6-Furfurylamino purine and 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enylamino)purine induced a physiological state characterized by high sensitivity of microc...

Two-dimensional separation of proteins newly synthesized by tobacco mesophyll protoplasts cultivated in vitro allows us to detect, reproducibly, 257 spots. The pattern is extremely stable throughout the three days of culture, the intensity of only 24 spots varying during this time. The absence of cytokinin (N(6)-benzyladenine) in the culture medium prohibits entry into S phase but does not modi...

Licorice plants, Glycyrrhiza glabra, G. uralensis, and G. inflata, were investigated for callus induction using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium combined with auxins and cytokinins. After 4 weeks of culture, 33-100% of leaf or stem explants formed calli. Maximum of shoot induction from callus cultures was achieved by G. inflata stem explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l alpha-n...

Somatic embryos and rooted plantlets have been regenerated from light-initiated embryogenic callus derived from mature embryos of Picea abies stored seeds. Under a 16 hour photoperiod, mature zygotic embryos were cultured on a modified half-strength Murashige-Skoog medium without NH4NO3 and supplemented with 5 mM glutamine, 4.5 pM N6-benzyladenine (BA) and 10.7 PM naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA) ...

Knowledge concerning in vitro regeneration and developmental responses of Abelmoschus moschatus Medik. L. (muskdana plant) is limited. Aseptic seedlings were successfully raised on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium augmented with GA (0.5 mg L ). The seeds did not germinate on MS medium alone. 3 1 Cotyledonary Node (CN) gave the best response with regard to induction of multiple shoots among...
