ABSTRACT This study aimed to establish a methodology for vegetative propagation via mini-cuttings technique Mimosa Caesalpiniifolia. For such, three independent experiments were conducted: the first one evaluated survival and production of mini-stumps; second tested interaction between types (apical intermediate) different concentrations indolbutyric acid (IAB; 0, 2,000, 4,000 6,000 mg.L-1) on ...

The genus Rhododendron L. is the largest in heather family Ericaceae DC. Rhododendrons are decorative evergreen, semi-evergreen and deciduous shrubs that have gained great popularity green building, ornamental gardening breeding. Among all groups of rhododendrons, most promising for cultivation Central Russia due to their high winter hardiness, unpretentiousness exceptional effect. article pres...

Variation in floral characteristics and growth habits within the native range of North American wildflower Ratibida columnifera (Nutt.) Wooton & Standl. suggest potential for breeding selection efforts to develop improved cultivars commercial residential landscapes. Toward that end, experiments vegetative propagation were performed enable perpetuation unique germplasm. Stem development stag...

Gymnema sylvestre R.Br. is an important medicinal plant which grows wild in the tropical forests of central, western and southern India and in the tropical areas of Africa, Australia and China. Due to increase in demand and destructive harvesting, the plant has become vulnerable. Field experiments were conducted during 2004 to 2007 to develop some important aspects of cultivation techniques of ...

The idealized individual in many fungal species is a haploid self-sterile hermaphrodite that may be propagated by asexually produced spores or that may reproduce sexually. In field populations, polymorphism occurs for female-sterile/hermaphrodite status, and female-sterile mutants, which function only as males during sexual reproduction, may comprise > 50% of the population. The effective popul...

The present communication deals with the vegetative propagation through air layering technique in L. reticluata, know as Jivanti in Ayurvedic medicinal plant, The results reveal tat ceradik treated twigs produced profuse and earl rooting with higher survival percentage.

When resource availability changes frequently and unpredictably, natural selection favors flexible resource allocation; however, such versatility may be compromised in perennial plants that differentiate leaves or flowers a year in advance of their development (preformation). We investigated resource allocation by the carnivorous perennial Pinguicula vulgaris to determine whether increased reso...
