Background & Aim: Clematis is an ornamental and medicinal plant that is primarily planted as an ornamental plant. Clematis orientalis is native to Asia and Central Europe, used as an antiseptic and refrigerant. The propagation of Clematis is very important. In this study, the effects of plant growth regulators on rooting and growth of the plants in vitro cult...

A highly selective, sensitive, rapid and economical differential pulse polarographic method has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of antimony in various standard alloys and biological samples after adsorption of its 2-nitroso-1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid - tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride on microcrystalline naphthalene in the pH range of 7.5-11.0. After filtratio...

In this research, the accelerated ripening of the Kabkab dates from Khalal to Tamr using NaCl and acetic acid solutions was studied. Fruits at Khalal stage were harvested and washed with distilled water before being treated with ripening inducers: 1. NaCl solutions, 2. acetic acid solutions and 3. Aqueous solution of NaCl (1%) and acetic acid. moisture, pH, colour, brix and textural firmness of...

the present study was aimed at the development of a somoclonal variant and isozyme marker for phyllanthus amarus schum & thonn using inter-nodal segments and the enzyme peroxidase. maximum callus proliferation was obtained on murashige and skoog’s medium supplemented (ms) with 1.0 mg/l of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. three weeks-old pale yellowish white semi-friable callus was used for o...

The comparative analysis of plant hormones was undertaken on a 1-naphthaleneacetic acid tolerant mutant and normal tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi) plantlets. The mutant plantlet was scrubby and impaired in its root morphogenesis. Degeneration of the root meristem was studied on tissue sections; it appeared very fast (as early as the 3rd or 4th day after sowing), after which the root was f...

Background: Monovarietal cultivation of cotton plant allowed the genetic erosion for traditional varieties that proceed essential traits mainly involved in breeding. These need to be preserved future used. This study aims evaluate effect gibberellic acid on seed germination and Benzylaminopurin (BAP), Kinetin (KIN), α-naphthalene acetic (NAA) activated charcoal (CA) seedlings growth obtained fr...

Yeast belonging to the genera Brettanom}'ces and Dekkera are noted for spoiling cellar and bottled wine through the production of haze, turbidity and acetic acid. However, I was unable to find information on the use of these yeasts for the expressed purpose of acetic acid production. Sixty yeast strains belonging to these, and several other genera, from the ARS Culture Collection, Peoria, IL, w...

Background and Objectives: Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-particles have been proven to have strong antibacterial activity against food borne pathogens. The practical applications of different concentrations (Control, 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mM) of ZnO suspensions containing 1% acetic acid were investigated against the pathogenic bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. Materials and Methods: The projects of l...

An efficient and reproducible protocol for plantlet regeneration from nodal segments of Olive cv 'Frontio' has been developed. Media and explants browning due to exudation of phenolics from the explants were controlled by fortification of the medium with 100 mg/L ascorbic acid. Best establishment of olive explants was observed on half-strength MS salts fortified with 2.0 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurin...
