A protocol for direct shoot regeneration without intervening callus phase was developed by shoot tip culture of MS (murashinge and skoog) medium for teak. The study reveal that aseptically inoculated shoot tip of teak in established shoot induction and shoot multiplication was also observed at same concentration .At BAP 1mg/l, IAA 1mg/l and kin 1mg/l the shoots were weak ,tiny and non separable...

The present study was aimed to compare the photoautotrophic (PAM) and photomixotrophic micropropagation (PMM) of three potato cultivars (Hermes, Rosetta and Asterix). Cultures were initiated from single node explants and established in MS basal medium with some modifications. Potato plantlets responded in sugar-free media although sugar-containing media (PMM1 and PMM2) performed better as compa...

An efficient plant regeneration protocol was developed from leaf and internode (stem) explants of Bacopa monniera L. on MS basal medium, supplemented with Cytokinins like BAP, KN, and TDZ used singly. The leaf cultures expressed maximum plant regeneration potential with 138.9 ± 0.50 shoots per explants on MS + 2.0 mg/ l BAP. The in vitro regenerated dwarf shoots were further elongated on MS med...

A maize rhizosphere isolate was phenotypically and genotypically characterized and identified as Enterobacter spp. bacterium. Germinated seeds were inoculated, the plantlets were sown in vermiculite and in soil and grown under laboratory and field conditions, respectively. The adherence, colonization and plant growth promotion capability of Enterobacter sp. UAPS03001 was evaluated in "Rojo-Crio...

A protocol for rapid multiplication of Adhatoda vasica has been developed through nodal explants from field grown mature plants. The maximum number of shoots, i.e., 7.75 +/- 0.392 differentiated from split nodal halves on MS medium supplemented with BA (10.0 mg/l) during 4 weeks of culture. Maximum number of shoots formed per explant increased to ca. 30 within 6 weeks of subculture on medium co...

background: lemon verbena (lippia citriodora h.b.k.) is an aromatic and medicinal plant of family verbenaceae, which cultivated in north region of iran. objective: evaluation of phytochemical characters in lippia citriodora h.b.k. plantlets affected by propagation methods (micro-propagation and stem cutting) cultivated in different soil type (peat moss and mixture soil). methods: this study was...

In order to investigate the responses of potato plantlets under in vitro conditions to osmotic and temperature stresses, a factorial experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with three replications. Each replicate contained a glass jar with 5 explants grown in it. The first...

Traditional plant breeding is often limited by the genetic diversity within a species. The use of biotechnology allows introducing into a plant, specific traits that come from the same or another plant species. In this paper, we focus on tissue culture of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Asteraceae), particularly related to rooting transgenic sunflower plantlets. Sunflower is notoriously recalc...
