Present study has comparatively investigated the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), ZnO bulk particles (BPs), and relevant metal ions (Zn2+) on the tissue culture of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) to properly evaluate the impact of ZnO NPs on callus induction. For finding the best hormonal combination for inducing callus, hypocotyl explants were cultured on Murashige ...

tissue culture methods provide tools to supplement traditional methods for collection, propagation and preservation of endangered plant species. in this study, in vitro propagation of diaphanoptera khorasanica rech.f., a rare and threatened plant species with limited distribution range and population was investigated. this species has a potential as an ornamental plant. single node explants wer...

necessary conditions for callus production from leaf and stem explants of norfolk island pine (araucaria excelsa l.) have been studied. ms and bm culture media containing 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 mg/l naa, iba, 2,4-d and picloram supplemented with 30 g/l sucrose were used. callus was initiated in both culture media only in the presence of picloram and in the dark, but bm culture medium produced mor...

In the present study, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) was assessed individually for its effectiveness to induce somatic embryogenesis in tea (Camellia sinenesis L.). Embryonic axes and cotyledons explants were dissected from the seeds. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D alone for embryonic axes and 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D along with 0...

Many factors may influence the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis. This capability may be differ with regard to media compositions, genotype, tissue, organ ontology and the stage of differentiation. The effects of five salicylic acid concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) on different stages of carrot somatic embryogenesis were studied using petiole and root secondary phloem explants as sta...

Production of genetically and phenotypically stable plantlets is the main purpose in commercial strawberry tissue culture. In this study, different tissues of Fragaria ananassa cv. Camarosa including stipule, apical meristem, leaf and petiole were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented withdifferent concentrations of N6-benzyladenine (BA) (0.5, 1, ...

Tissue culturing, which is an alternative method to clonal reproduction of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) has started become widespread in recent years. However, the browning tissue resulting from oxidation phenolic compounds one most important factors limiting success vitro avocados. Therefore, this study, effects different antioxidants (activated charcoal (AC), ascorbic acid (ASA), citric (...

Micropropagation of Asclepias curassavica L. a medicinal plant valued for its medicinal properties has been carried out using two different plant culture media, Murashige and Skoog (MS) and L2. L2 medium proved to be superior to MS medium in terms of shoot multiplication and shoot length. Nodal explants showed enhanced organogenic response than shoot tip explants. Basal nodal explants produced ...

many factors may influence the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis. this capability may be differ with regard to media compositions, genotype, tissue, organ ontology and the stage of differentiation. the effects of five salicylic acid concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm) on different stages of carrot somatic embryogenesis were studied using petiole and root secondary phloem explants as sta...
