Micropropagation of Kainth using nodal explants was carried out in tissue culture laboratory, Department of Fruit Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during 2011-13. The effect of various media {1/2 MS (M1), MS (M2) and WPM (M3)} and growth regulators (BAP, IBA and NAA) on establishment, proliferation and rooting was studied. Per cent necrotic culture was found to be influenced by...

An investigation was carried out to decipher the effect of genotypes and concentrations growth regulators for callus induction subsequent plant regeneration from mature seeds rice. Two local rice cultivars viz. Nayanmony Kalomona two 2, 4-D NAA were used evaluate their performance. The cultured under aseptic condition onto MS basal medium at varying combinations (1.0, 1.5 2.0 mgL- 1) (0.0, 0.5 ...

In this research, the acclimatized in vitro plants were transferred to the aeroponic system and the effects of paclobutrazol (PBZ) and jasmonic acid (JA) were investigated on the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cvs Agria and Svalan) minitubers. Some plant characteristics were also investigated in this cultivation system, under greenhouse conditions. Plants were foliar sprayed with PB...

A simple and efficient protocol for recurrent somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration is one of the prerequisites for genetic improvement of guava. An efficient reproducible regeneration somatic embryogenesis protocol was developed in four genotypes of Psidium guajava L. using immature zygotic embryo as starter explant. Somatic embryogenesis induction was obtained on MS basal medium supple...

Total soluble solid (TSS) content is commercially used as fruit quality index because of its high positive correlation with sugar content. In the present study, The effect of foliar application of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 mg.L-1) at 4 true leaf and fruit set stages and plant training (pruning and thinning) on TSS and soluble sugar (i.e. suc...

The present study aimed at establishing a complete plant regeneration protocol for Didymopanax morototoni (matchwood), a native Brazilian forest species. Four types of explants (root, shoot, node, and cotyledonary leaves) were obtained from in vitro germinated seeds. In the first step, woody plant medium (WPM) with casein hydrolysate (250 mgL-1 ) and 2,4-D (1.0 and 5.0 mgL-1) were used combined...

dog rose (rosa canina l.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as rosa hybrid and rosa floribunda. in vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and disease-free plants. micropropagation of rosa canina l. was revised, usin...
