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...

Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. (Liliaceae) is a critically endangered lily species native tonorthern Iran, where it is protected by law. In order to develop a cost effective method for largescalepropagation, the effects of three culture systems (solid, liquid and temporary immersion)and two types of cytokinins [6-Benzyladenine (BA) and Thidiazuron (TDZ)] were studied onthe in vitro plant rege...

Dutch iris is a commercially important bulbous ornamental crop. Its high demand in global floriculture market necessitates the production of its high-quality planting material. In present investigation, an efficient vitro propagation system has been developed for Iris × hollandica Tub. cv. Professor Blaauw (Dutch iris) using meta-Topolin (mT) first time. Effect various concentrations BAP, Kn, a...

Somaclonal variation that possibly occurs during the process of plant tissue culture is considered to provide a source of new germplasm. Polyploidy is one of the most frequent incidents among the somaclonal variations. In the present study, we performed cytological and morphological characterization of tetraploid plants that were obtained from long-term subcultured callus culture of Lilium long...

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...
