This paper describes a prime and easy-touse protocol for large-scale production of plant lets through shoot tip culture of Lantana camera, the plant having phytoremediation potential and the method is useful for the ex-situ conservation of other species important for phytoremediation. A simple micro-propagation method from nodal and shoot tip explants were reported here for Lantana camera, at c...

A reliable method is described for rapid proliferation of axillary shoots from nodal segment of mature field-grown aromatic and medicinal plant Vitex negundo through in vitro culture. Of different concentrations of N6-benzyladenine (BA) evaluated as supplements to Murahige and Skoog (MS) medium, BA at 1mg/l was effective in enhancing bud break and shoot regeneration. Response of explants was al...

the zinnia (zinnia elegans j.) flower has many applications in landscape design, whereas lack of adequate conditions and nutritions in some cases can reduce the quality and number of flowers. therefore, control of growth conditions is very important related to nutrition and application of growth regulators to improve the quality and quantity of flowers. flower's morphology and longevity are two...

Abstract Liquid organic waste from animals can be fermented into liquid fertilizer, so it an alternative to increase plant growth. This study aims determine the effect of giving horse and cow urine LOF, as well its interaction on shoot growth in Cattleya labiata Lindl orchid plant. The method used is a factorial experimental with randomized block design three replications. fertilizer concentrat...

In mulberry (Morus sp.), grown for its foliage, which is the sole food for the silkworm (Bombyx mori L.), evolving high yielding varieties is a long drawn and laborious process. One of the important selection parameter that has significant positive correlation with leaf yield is Total Shoot Length [TSL] of the mulberry plant. Measuring the length of all the shoots of the test genotypes to get t...

The expression of acrotony (i.e., the increasing size of comparable lateral shoots toward the apex of the main shoot) was similar among first-order shoots borne along previous-year leaders of young Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. and Picea rubens Sarg. trees. The position and nature (i.e., whether cones, second-order shoots or non-flushed buds) of lateral axes borne alo...

Basal shoots produced by Arbutus unedo L. after cutting at ground level vary in size and growth rate, and are classified accordingly as dominant or suppressed. The suppressed shoots eventually cease growth and die. In this study, we investigated the role of light and water in the competition among shoots of A. unedo. Dominant and suppressed shoots of A. unedo showed similar leaf water potential...

hyssop (hyssopus officinalis l.), belongs to the family of lamiaceae which its origin is asia minor, and is considered as one of the most important medicinal plant. this experiment was done to study the effects of population and bap concentrations on hyssop plant regeneration under in vitro culture conditions. this research were performed in factorial experiment with three populations (hamadan,...
