background & aim: investigating the possibility of using medicinal plant’s seeds substitute for agar gel in plant tissue culture and determining the optimal practical conditions of them is the aim of this study. experimental: in order to study the new gelling agents for using in plant tissue culture, we designed a tow part experiment by means of the seeds of medicinal plants such as linum u...

plant tissue culture techniques are used as basic requirement of common plant transformation systems. in most cases of plant transformation, a reproducible regeneration protocol is the limiting step due to long time lasting, specialized facilities and well experienced persons. furthermore, tissue culture procedures induce somaclonal variation among regenerated transgenic plants. therefore, rece...

In recent years, the possibility of developing numerous plantlets of many plant species in vitro has been realized. Termed plant tissue culture, this method of plant propagation has not been without problems when employed in commercial practice. One problem of major consequence has been bacterial contamination, usually becoming evident during later stages of tissue culture increase and multipli...

The increasing degradation of forests, together with a higher demand for wood and fruit, has led to the need more efficient trees adapted current climatic conditions and, thus, genetic improvement programs [...]
