Abstract Leucojum aestivum is a valuable and endangered plant species with bulb scales best suited as explants in micropropagation. In the current study, its micropropagation was investigated by using two different various concentrations combinations of growth regulators (PGRs). Bulbs were first disinfected benomyl® for 5 hours. After meeting chilling requirements, two-scale four-scale provided...

Generally, narcissus is propagated through vegetative methods, but due to their low yield their are not economical. This study was conducted to develop a suitable method for the production of somatic embryos and bulblets in Narcissus papyraceus cv. Shirazi. Bulb scales were placed on the MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D and BAP each at 0.0, 0.25, 0.5 or 1 mg/l concentrations to form somatic em...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of two locally produced microbiological products Trihodermins B-J and Vitmins on scale promotion and bulblet development in Lilium. Lily scales were given three treatments: untreated controls; Vitmins solution (10 ml L) and Vitmins solution (10 ml L) + Trihodermins B-J (dry powder form, at 10 g kg in the substrate). After treatment, sc...

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of bulb harvesting time and indole butyric acid as well as changes of endogenous growth regulators, indole acetic acid and abscisic acid during scale propagation of lilium ledebourii (baker) boiss. treatments consisted of bulb harvesting time (0, 50, 100 and 150 days after flowering) in the natural habitat of damash, and iba concentratio...
