An efficient protocol was developed for micro-propagation of Indian papaya (Carica papaya L.) var. Co7. Shoot bud induction occurred on culturing epicotyl segments in MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium, followed by transfer onto shoot multiplication, elongation and rooting media. Adventitious buds were induced on MS medium supplemented with varying concentration of thidiazuron (TDZ: 0.5-10 μ...

Penetration of second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne incognita into tomato root explants and in vitro propagated peach plantlet roots were compared. Five inoculum levels were used: 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200 J2 for tomato; and 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000J2 for peach. The greatest root penetration into tomato was 30% at the 75 J2 level, but the maximum penetration into peach roots was only 8...

The growth of strawberry plantlets in the rooting stage on culture medium supplemented with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and ethylene gas accumulation plantlet bottles were investigated. In addition, different systems first used to produce large-scale Strawberry plantlets. results showed that shoots (3 cm) cultured MS 0.02 mg/L NAA, 1 g/L activated charcoal, 30 sucrose, 8 agar 0.5 AgNPs about 4...

Rhizome explants were used to develop a protocol for in vitro plantlet regeneration of Podophyllum hexandrum, a critically endangered medicinal plant, through direct organogenesis. Highest rate of multiple shoot formation was noted in MS medium supplemented with 11.42 μM IAA within three months. A synergistic effect of 2.68 μM NAA and 11.1 μM BAP was second best. The 1⁄2 MS liquid medium with 1...
