the present work developed an efficient plant regeneration and propagation system via direct organogenesis for morinda officinalis how., a valuable endangered medicinal plant. the effects of explant types on shoot induction, plant growth regulators on shoot proliferationand elongation and the subsequent rooting ability of shoots were examined. among the various types of explant, direct shoot pr...

Cecropia glaziovii is a tree with used in Brazilian popular medicine. Methods allowing the clonal propagation of this species are of great interest for superior genotype multiplication and perpetuation. For this reason, we examined the effect of different culture media and different types of explants on adventitious shoot regeneration from callus and buds of C. glaziovii. Leaves, petioles and s...

Rapid clonal propagation through in vitro techniques using cotyledonary node as an explant has been attempted in the high yielding, tikka-susceptible (ICG 11337, AK 1224, ICGS 44, JL 24) and tikka-immune (ICG 6284) varieties of Arachis hypogaea L. Cotyledonary nodes were excised from the 12–15 days-old axenic seedlings and cultured in the presence of various concentrations of N6 –benzylaminopur...

the present study was carried out to investigate micropropagation possibility and determine the optimal medium composition and plant growth regulators (pgrs) combinations under in vitro conditions. the cotyledon and epicotyl explants obtained from 1 month old in vitro grown seedlings were used in ms medium containing ba (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg-1) and tdz (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg-1) e...

Plant genetic transformation usually depends on efficient adventitious regeneration systems. In almond (Prunus dulcis Mill.), regeneration of transgenic adventitious shoots was achieved but with low efficiency. Histological studies identified two main stages of organogenesis in almond explants that were induced for adventitious shoot regeneration; a dedifferentiation stage (early) and a shoot i...

Various explants (stem, leaf, and root) of Citrus assamensis were cultured on MS media supplemented with various combinations and concentrations (0.5-2.0 mg L(-1)) of NAA and BAP. Optimum shoot and root regeneration were obtained from stem cultures supplemented with 1.5 mg L(-1) NAA and 2.0 mg L(-1) BAP, respectively. Explant type affects the success of tissue culture of this species, whereby s...

We are interested in the cellular physiological events taking place during shoot regeneration in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Tainan 5) callus induced by osmotic stress. At first, the sucrose and starch metabolisms in rice callus were studied because carbohydrates are the main energy source in plant tissue culture. The results showed that fresh weight, water content, cellular water, and osmotic po...

the influence of explant nodal positions on the in vitro shoot growth and proliferation were studied in the two rose cvs. ‘bianca’ and ‘el torro’. third, fourth and fifth nodal explants were cultured on the modified ms medium supplemented with 1.0 and 5.0 mg/l ba. in both the cultivars, higher rate of proliferation (‘bianca’ 3.75; ‘el torro’ 2.65) were obtained from the explants distal to the a...
