Leaf, seed, and tuber explants of C. latifolia were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP and IBA, alone or in combinations, to achieve in vitro plant regeneration. Subsequently, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were determined from in vitro and in vivo plant developed. No response was observed from seed culture on MS media with various concentrations o...

A novel protocol for indirect shoot organogenesis of Adhatoda vasica was developed using petiole explants derived from mature shrubby plants. Media with concentrations of cytokinins in combination with auxins were used to induce callus formation in two explants types: petiole and leaf segment. The frequency of callus formation from petiole and leaf segment explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) b...

Pears are among the most economically important fruits in world that grown all temperate zones. Pyrus communis L., ‘Pyrodwarf®(S)’ rootstock is one of gene sources used to improve fruit productivity, resistance, and tolerance biotic abiotic stresses. Traditional propagation P. L. time-consuming limited by a short growing season harsh winter conditions. Therefore, vitro suitable alternative. Mur...

Adventitious roots, generated using leaf explants of P. nodiflora, and meristem explants of L. reticulata, were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with napthylacetic acid (2 microM) and indole butyric acid (3 microM) respectively. After 30 days, subculturing of roots in liquid MS medium with napthylacetic acid (1.5 microM) for P. nodiflora and indole butyric acid (3 microM...

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...

Successful in vitro propagation through ex vitro rooting mechanism has been achieved in Piper longum by nodal shoot segment cultures. Shoot tip explants were less proliferative compared to the nodal meristems. The explants were sterilized using 0.1% HgCl2 and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with various concentrations of growth regulators. MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 6-benz...

An efficient and reproducible protocol for plantlet regeneration from nodal segments of Olive cv 'Frontio' has been developed. Media and explants browning due to exudation of phenolics from the explants were controlled by fortification of the medium with 100 mg/L ascorbic acid. Best establishment of olive explants was observed on half-strength MS salts fortified with 2.0 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurin...

An in vitro regeneration protocol through stem callus culture has been standardized for the medicinal climber Clematis gouriana. The explant induced callus on MS-medium supplemented with 0.5 to 1.5 mg l BAP and 0.1 to 0.5 mg l NAA. The optimized callus induction occurred at the concentration of 1.0 mg l BAP and 0.3 mg l NAA. After initiation of callus, it was immediately transferred to MS mediu...
