This study surveyed a rapid, efficient and reproducible protocol for in vitro shoot regeneration and rooting by different explants and different concentration of BAP. Due to optimization of shoot regeneration, two media including of MS and modified MS (MS salts with double concentration of CaC21, and B5 vitamins), different explants such as decapitated embryo axes, epicotyls and cotyledonary no...

An in vitro method was developed for high frequency shoot regeneration and continuous production of Brassica napus L. in large number. The different concentrations of benzyladenine (1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mgl and thidiazuron (0, 0.15 and 0.30 mgl) were evaluated for shoot and root regeneration using hypocotyl explants with 7, 14 and 21 days old. Shoot regeneration (SR) was affected by both benzyladen...

An efficient and reproducible procedure was established for direct shoot regeneration of Solanum surattense Bum. using internodal explants. The shoot regeneration efficiency on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6benzylaminopurine (BAP) was superior in compared to 6furfurylaminopurine (Kn). The highest mean number of shoots per explant was recorded on MS medium containing 0.5 mgl...

A simple method was developed to permit albino plant regeneration from anther culture of Hobigonj Boro (Hbj B) IV and Hbj B VI, two local varieties of aromatic indica rice from Bangladesh. Three crucial factors were identified for the albino shoot primordia to change into green plantlets in culture; components of M10 induction medium, callus size (range 0.2-0.4 cm long) and height of shoot prim...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the possibility for developing Efficient Plant regeneration protocol in Vigno mungo L. For this, the effect of Cytokinens on in vitro regeneration from Cotyledonary explants was studied in Black gram (Vigno mungo L.) Hepper Var Vamban-1. The cytokinins used were 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ), and kinetin (Kn). The regenerated shoots...

periwinkle (vinca minor l.) is an evergreen perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the family apocynaceae. the aerial part of this plant contains certain alkaloids such as vincamine, isovincamine and vincine. the most important of these is vincamine that re-duces blood pressure and promotes memory and the ability for mental concentration. mi-cropropagation could be a good alternative for th...

sand dune habitats in desert regions have harsh conditions for plant establishment and survival. ammodendron persicum, an psamophyte shrub plant belongs to leguminosae family, which grows over the desert sand dunes of zirkohgaen, gezik and khash  along east part of iran. recognizing the adaptive features of the plant species may help towards its conservation and introducing to other sand dune h...

The Arabidopsis ENHANCER OF SHOOT REGENERATION 1 (ESR1) gene is thought to regulate the initiation of in vitro shoot regeneration. ESR1 encodes a transcriptional activator belonging to the ETHYLENE-RESPONSIVE FACTOR family. In this study, we investigated the functions of the C-terminal domain of the ESR1 protein. Effectorreporter assays using the GAL4 DNA-binding domain fused with portions of t...

Many plant species display remarkable developmental plasticity and regenerate new organs after injury. Local signals produced by wounding are thought to trigger organ regeneration but molecular mechanisms underlying this control remain largely unknown. We previously identified an AP2/ERF transcription factor WOUND INDUCED DEDIFFERENTIATION1 (WIND1) as a central regulator of wound-induced cellul...

A procedure was developed for in vitro propagation of Curculigo latifolia through shoot tip culture. Direct regeneration and indirect scalp induction of Curculigo latifolia were obtained from shoot tip grown on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of thidiazuron and indole-3-butyric acid. Maximum response for direct regeneration in terms of percentage of explant...
