Many herbaceous perennials are poorly branched, slow to fill out the pot, and produce few propagules. Configure (6-BA, Fine Americas, Inc.), labeled for branching of floricultural crops, was evaluated on a variety of perennials. Configure improved the basal branching of Echinacea purpurea ‘Doubledecker’ with a three-fold increase in the number of new shoots per plant at two weeks after treatmen...

Somatic embryogenesis could be achieved in Themeda quadrivalvis (Linn.) O. Ktze -fodder grass species on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D. Incorporation of putrescine in the medium stimulated embryogenesis, however its lower concentration stimulated production of non-regenerative callus. Other polyamines such as spermine and spermidine could not evoke similar response. Ascorbic acid used as an...

The repression-protest nexus in authoritarian regimes has attracted scholarly attention of contention scholars for a long time. However, studies have generally overlooked pro-government actors’ role contentious dynamics. This article introduces an original event dataset on protests, repression, and rallies Turkey under the rule Justice Development Party during period which authoritarianism incr...

Abstract Background The bitter gourd fruit yields are not at a desirable level due to maleness. Maleness is one of the biggest difficulties with gourd, reducing substantially. On other hand, plant stages most important consideration for PGR application because their sensitive responsiveness. Therefore, it necessary determine how plants respond growth regulators, namely 0 (control: water as cont...

A study of callus induction of Tecomella undulata was conducted using a various concentrations of PGRs namely cytokinins such as BAP and KIN and auxins such as 2, 4-D, NAA and IAA. Internodal explants were aseptically cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations (1.03.0 mg/l) of BAP, KIN, 2, 4-D, IAA and NAA. After two weeks callus was formed at the cut surface of the explan...

The genus Mycobacterium comprises significant pathogenic species that infect both humans and animals. One species within this genus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is the primary killer of humans resulting from bacterial infections. Five mycobacterial genomes belonging to four different species (M. tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosi...

The hot subdwarf (sd) stars in the Palomar Green (PG) catalog of ultraviolet excess (UVX) objects play a key role in investigations of the frequency and types of binary companions and the distribution of orbital periods. These are important for establishing whether and by which channels the sd stars arise from interactions in close binary systems. It has been suggested that the list of PG sd st...

Callus induction and regeneration of fennel from embryo explants were stabilized in the presence of cefotaxime antibiotic and different plant growth regulators (PGRs). The experiments were conducted under a factorial experiment, based on a completely randomized design (CRD). Genotypes; Fasa, Meshkinshar and Hajiabad were applied under different concentration of cefotaxime (0 and 100 mg l-1...
