four separate experiments were conducted to study the effects of factors controlling the establishment of explants from two walnut genotypes z60 and z63 (damavand). factors were explant type, sampling time, explant orientation on the growth medium and antioxidants type. the explants were collected from the collection garden of tooyserkan walnuts research station. four explant types (apical meri...

The effects of plant growth regulators were examined in order to optimize the callus induction, regeneration, and proliferation of lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum). In vitro leaves provided the explants for callus induction. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with different concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 2,4-dichlorophen...

Browning is one of the severe problems in plant tissue culture that hampers successful vitro propagation plants especially woody and perennial plants. In order to control browning problem, different efforts has been made such as presoaking explants antioxidant solution, incorporation antioxidants into medium, culturing dark period frequent subculturing explants. Presoaking solutions like polyvi...

Objective: To characterize the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) in various combinations on indices of inflammation in recombinant porcine IL-1 beta stimulated porcine articular cartilage explants. Methods: Cartilage was obtained from the humeral-ulnar joints of Yorkshire x Landrace market sized gilts. Explants were harvested from t...

pseudohandelia tzvel. belongs to the asteraceae family with only one species. it is endemic to khorasan province in iran. having partially big and beautiful inflorescences make it a proper choice in urban green space especially in case of mass culture. in this research, to investigate possibility of micro propagation of this plant two separate experiments were designed. to obtain non contaminat...

in the present study, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-d) was assessed individually for its effectiveness to induce somatic embryogenesis in tea (camellia sinenesis l.). embryonic axes and cotyledons explants were dissected from the seeds. explants were cultured on murashige and skoog (ms) medium containing 0, 1 and 5 mm 2, 4-d alone for embryonic axes and 0, 1 and 5 mm 2, 4-d along with 0...

The aim of this investigation was micropropagation of Quercus brantii L. via culture of terminal and lateral buds for mass production of this plant. The plant materials were collected from Fars province Iran in spring and summer seasons. After surface sterilization and the removal of phenol materials from the explants, they were transferred into different culture media containing different conc...

Foliar explants of Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi n.c. were cultured on four different media: a basal medium, basal medium plus benzyladenine, basal medium plus 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and the basal medium containing both hormones. No differentiation or cell division occurred in leaf explants cultured on the basal medium. Addition of benzyladenine caused the formation of buds on th...

Effects of various culture media and growth regulators on micropropagation of cherry rootstock, M × M60 were investigated in the present study. Stem cuttings of the current season growth were taken from mature stockplants and cultured on the establishment medium after disinfection. After four weeks, elongated shoots were cut and subcultured on the proliferation media including MS, DKW, QL and M...
