Abstract Corydalis saxicola Bunting, a medicinal herb known for alkaloids, grows mainly in Guizhou province and northwest Guangxi of China. In this study, the first time plant, an efficient adventitious shoot proliferation regeneration system via organogenesis from leaf petiole explants was established. Cytokinins, including 6-benzyladenine (BA) thidiazuron (TDZ), induced callus then organogene...

Despite a long-standing interest in the genetic basis of morphological diversity, the molecular mechanisms that give rise to developmental variation are incompletely understood. Here, we use comparative transcriptomics coupled with the construction of gene coexpression networks to predict a gene regulatory network (GRN) for leaf development in tomato and two related wild species with strikingly...

to study the effect of variable irrigation in spring on water use efficiency, quantity and quality of root and sugar yield of two sugar beet cultivars shirin and rasolan, an experiment was conducted at safiabad agriculctura research center during 2003-04 and 2004-05 cropping seasons. the experiment was designed in  a split plot with four replications in which five water supply treatments 25, 50...

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the levels of heavy metals in soil and castor bean plant after fertilization with sewage sludge (SS) subjected to different stabilization processes. The was conducted a Haplic Cambisol following treatments: control (CO), solarized (SSS), composted (CSS), vermi (VSS), limed (LSS), mineral fertilizer (MF). experimental design included subdivided plot scheme being pr...

Plant leaves, simple or compound, initiate as peg-like structures from the peripheral zone of the shoot apical meristem (SAM), which requires KNOXI homeobox transcription factors to maintain its activity. The MYB domain protein encoded by the ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1/ROUGH SHEATH2/PHANTASTICA (ARP) gene, together with other factors, excludes KNOXI gene expression from incipient leaf primordia (P0) to...
