in this research the effect of two species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices on root knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica was investigated and in different treatments the effects of this interaction on parameters of plant growth , nematode infection and mycorrhizal development were evaluated.shoot fresh and dry weight significantly increased in mycorrhizal t...

SRPP is a protein expressed in seeds and root hairs and is significantly induced in root hairs under phosphate (Pi)-deficient conditions. Root hairs in the knockout mutant srpp-1 display defects, i.e., suppression of cell growth and cell death. Here, we analyzed the expression profile of SRPP during cell elongation of root hairs and compared the transcript levels in several mutants with short r...

Citrus cultivars were explored for multiple shoot induction and root regeneration in different media. The multiple root and shoot induction was found directly proportionate to the increase in the levels of benzyleaminopurine (BA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in the modified Murashige and Skoog medium. The study might be promising towards in vitro propagation of sanitated Citrus plant mater...

Alanine aminotransferase, otherwise called glutamate-pyruvate aminotransferase (GPT), activity increases up to fourfold during several days of anaerobic induction in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots, reaching a maximum activity of 13 international units per gram fresh weight. This increase in activity paralleled the increase in alcohol dehydrogenase activity in the same root tissue. Upon retur...

among pome fruit trees, quince is the most susceptible tree to fire blight. following selection of several promising quince cultivars, this research aimed at optimization of in vitro propagation protocol of the selected materials. therefore, several experiments were carried out for determination of the best culture medium and plant growth regulators for establishment, proliferation and root ind...

background and objectives: hyoscyamus reticulatus contains two distinguished tropane alkaloids, hyoscyamineand scopolamine and both of the compounds possesspotential acute or chronic toxicity. in the present study, a simple and efficient transformation system was established for in vitro hairy roots induction in hyoscyamus reticulatus. methods: effect of different factors including agrobacteriu...

Hairy root induction in plants has affected by many factors including type, age of explant and bacterial strain. In the present study, the effects of bacterial strains (A4, C58, 15834 and GM), two concentrations (OD600= 0.5 and 1) and two explants (leaves and stems) in hairy root induction of C. blumei</...

Induced hairy roots by Agrobacterium rhizogenes are suitable organs for the production of secondary metabolites, due to the stability and high production of roots without phyhormones in a short time. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum– graecum L.) is one of the most important medicinal plants with valuable medicinal compounds. For optimizing the hairy root induction of T. foenum-graecum L., six strai...
