Auxinic-like compounds have been widely used as weed control agents. Over the years, the modes of action of auxinic herbicides have been elucidated, but most studies thus far have focused on their effects on later stages of plant growth. Here, we show that some select auxins and auxiniclike herbicides trigger a rapid elevation in root cytosolic calcium levels within seconds of application. Arab...

This study establishes a protocol for the induction of somatic embryogenesis in Anthurium andraeanum cv. Eidibel. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized 5 x 5 x 5 factorial design using five explant types (whole leaves, half leaves; petiole; nodal segments and root segments) from in vitro plantlets; five auxins: indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), indole-...

Studies have shown that rooting substrate is one of the effective factors at rooting of hard rhizogenetic plant such as Henna. The purpose of this study is to determine an appropriate concentration of Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) and salicylic acid (SA) on Rooting of Henna. Present study showed that there was a great variation in most of the measured characters at P<...

An efficient and reproducible protocol for plantlet regeneration from nodal segments of Olive cv 'Frontio' has been developed. Media and explants browning due to exudation of phenolics from the explants were controlled by fortification of the medium with 100 mg/L ascorbic acid. Best establishment of olive explants was observed on half-strength MS salts fortified with 2.0 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurin...

In vitro adventitious roots were induced from leaves of Valeriana jatamansi to assess their potential as a sustainable alternative extract pharmaceutically important phytoconstituents. Among the different media used, significantly (p ≤ 0.05) high root induction (90%) was achieved on Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) medium fortified with 9.84 µM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). addition, various process ...

Adathoda vasica is a medicinal plant beneficial for the treatment of asthma, cough, haemorragic disorders, hepatitis and fevers. The leaves of the plant contain a mixture of alkaloid i.e., vasicine and vasicinone. Vasicine has numerous pharmacological activities viz., anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-bacterial etc. The study on influence of IBA and NAA on rootin...

Ironwort / Mountain Tea (Sideritis raeseri Boiss &amp; Heldr.) is an endangered (EN) plant species in Albania. This study aimed to develop a rapid clonal propagation protocol using vitro methodologies. The ironwort seeds were pre-treated with three concentrations of GA3 (250, 500, and 1000 mg l-1). During the inoculation stage, two types culture media, Murashige Skoog (MS) Woody Plant Medium (W...

Abstract Due to challenges associated with lavender propagation, Texas hybrid (lavandin) growers require revised propagation information. Therefore, experiments investigated effects of media and plant growth regulators (PGR) on rooting three different lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia) cultivars. PGRs applied cuttings were naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), or indole-3-butyric (IBA) at concentrations...
