Shoots of apple rootstocks raised in vitro were transferred to various rooting media to study the effect of different factors on root initiation and development. Various concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) initiated rooting but maximum rooting percentage was found with 2.0 and 2.5 mg l(-1) of IBA in M7 and with 1.0 mg l(-1) of IBA in MM106. The drawback was that the roots were thick, ...

an efficient and cost effective protocol for in vitro propagation of pineapple (ananas comosus var. queen) has been developed. in the proliferation stage, agar based murashige and skoog (ms) media was supplemented with 3.0 mg/l benzyleaminopurine (bap), 0.5 mg/l indole acetic acid (iaa) and 50 mg/l adenine sulphate as rbc design experiment. two approaches were taken to reduce the chemical cost ...

Carnation is one of the most important species on the worldwide market of cut flowers. Commercial carnation cultivars are vegetatively propagated from terminal stem cuttings that undergo a rooting and acclimation process. For some of the new cultivars that are being developed by ornamental breeders, poor adventitious root (AR) formation limits its commercial scaling-up, due to a significant inc...

Here, efficient plantlet regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from Panax quinquefolium hairy roots was reported. Callus development was optimal on MS medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (1 mg l) and -naphthalene acetic acid (1 mg l). After a 4-week growth, calli were transferred onto MS medium with different combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs). The highest embryogenesi...

the first successful and an efficient regeneration system on in vitro direct plant regeneration of agastache foeniculum was reported. the experiment were done in factorial design with three replications and explants were cultured in ms media fortified with different concentrations of bap and tdz (0, 2.2, 4.4, 8.8 μm) in combination with 3 levels of iaa (0, 1.1 and 2.2 μm). anova analysis showed...

in order to micropropagate of four vigorous rootstocks of pear, including pyrus betulifolia, konjuni, dargazi and gh1, effects of basic plant culture media (ms, ql and modified ql), cytokinins and auxins on productivity, proliferation and rooting were studied in seed and plant improvement institute, karaj. the highest amount of productivity for all rootstocks was observed in ql medium. among pe...

this study was conducted with the main prupose of investigation the effects of culture medium and the concentration of growth regulators on proliferation rate, rooting and the acclimatization of gisela 6 rootstock at khorasan razavi agriculture and natural resource research center during 2011-2012. in this experiment, the proliferation and rooting were performed in six kinds of culture medium (...
