The present research work involves shoot formation, their multiplication and rooting in carnation Dianthus caryophyllous. For shoot formation both apical and nodal meristems were used. MS medium containing BAP alone or in combination with kinetin was tested. Best shoot formation response was obtained after 6 days of inoculation from apical meristem and after 7 days of inoculation from nodal mer...

The effects o f thidiazuron (TDZ) on adventitious shoot bud formation from leaf and peti­ ole explants excised from in-vitro-grown plantlets o f a begonia were tested by a two-step procedure: a short exposure (5 to 120 min) to 40 pM TDZ in liquid MS medium followed by culture on agar-solidified MS medium without growth regulators. Exposure of explains for five min to TDZ induced bud formation, ...

By the end of this year, when Germany crowns the 'word of the year', one of the strongest contenders to replace last year's 'Finanzkrise' (financial crisis) has to be the almost unpronounceable 'Abwrackprämie' or scrappage fee. Introduced with effect from 27 January under the original name of 'Umweltprämie' (environment reward) with a strictly limited budget, this scheme pays out 2,500 Euros to...

Plant shoots elaborate their adult form by selective control over the growth of both their primary shoot apical meristem and their axillary shoot meristems. We describe recessive mutations at two loci in Arabidopsis, MAX1 and MAX2, that affect the selective repression of axillary shoots. All the first order (but not higher order) axillary shoots initiated by mutant plants remain active, resulti...

in vitro propagation of rose (rosa indica) as well as rose breeding is a valuable economic enterprise and has received highest importance globally including indian subcontinent. the development of new cultivars for commerce is faced with new challenges. in vitro micropropagation protocols of varieties of roses have been established but very few reports on the clonal propagation of local cultiva...
