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...

Three separate experiments were conducted to investigate the interplay between three phytohormones and sucrose for the change of flower color composition and the plant secondary metabolites in Tulipa. The variations of the physiological and morphological characteristics, with ABA at 5 and 10 mg/L (as experiment one), GA3 at 300 ‎and 500 mg/L ‏‎‎(as experiment two), 50 and 10...

In this experiment we prepare soap from animal fat (lard) or vegetable oil. Animal fats and vegetable oils are esters of carboxylic acids; they have a high molecular weight and contain the alcohol, glycerol. Chemically, these fats and oils are called triglycerides (See chapter 18 of your text). The principal acids in animal fats and vegetable oils can be prepared from the natural triglycerides ...

gladiolus is one of the flowers that used on cut flower and garden plants. an experiment was conducted to study the effects of chemical treatments on the vase life of gladiolus cut flower cv. ‘rose supreme’ with ten chemical treatment using complete randomize design with 3 replications. gladiolus cut flower was harvested when the 2-3 lowest bud had start showing color then cut flower were treat...

two separate factorial experiments were conducted to study the effects of explant sources, plant growth regulators, sucrose concentrations, and light conditions on in vitro cormlet formation of freesia (freesia ×hybrida bailey 'argenta'). interestingly, it was observed that the pupae had lower contamination levels compared to mother corms. using 40% sodium hypochlorite solution for 40 min, cont...

Pollen viability and its germination capability for fruit set in are almond and peach essential. To optimize the pollen culture medium of almond and peach and selection of best medium, the present study was carried out with 48 different culture media containing different compositions including diverse levels of boric acid (0 and 100mg/1), calcium nitrate (0,150and300mg/l،), magnesium sulphate (...

ABSTRACT- Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) is one of the most important ornamental plants used as cut flower, flowering pot plant and groundcover worldwide. In this research, the effects of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg -L), menthol (75 and 125 mg L-1) and eugenol (75 and 125 mg L-1) on the quality and vase-life of chrysanthemum cut flowers at 3±1ºC and 75-80%...
