Citrus genus is known as one of the world's major economic agricultural products. In the current research, a method is reported for artificial seed production technology by shoot tips in Citrus sinensis.var. Thamson navel. Alginate is one of the most efficient gelling agents in the production of capsule coating in artificial seeding technique. In the current research, impact of different consti...

Regnellidium diphyllum is considered as endangered, occurring in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and a few adjoining localities in Uruguay, Argentina and the State of Santa Catarina. It grows in wetlands frequently altered for agricultural activities. Herbicides based on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) are widely used in these fields. The effects of 2,4-D on the germination of me...

Proteomics approaches have been a useful tool for determining the biological roles and functions of individual proteins and identifying the molecular mechanisms that govern seed germination, vigour and viability in response to ageing. In this work the dry seed proteome of four Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes, that carry introgression fragments at the position of seed longevity quantitative trait...

The aim of the research work was to study the genetic variability of sunflower (Heliantus annuus L.) seeds collection. From 1500 available genotypes a set of 120 recombinant inbred lines coming from different countries were selected to perform the study. The genetic variability consisted in two types of experiments: in vivo and in vitro cultures. The recombinant inbred lines were classified usi...
