Induction of somatic embryogenesis in absence of exogenous auxin can clarify some basic concepts of somatic embryogenesis.  Explants from leaf and petiole of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were used in this experiment for somatic embryogenesis using three different modified B5 basal media; boron and 2,4-D but no IAA as control (I), boron and IAA but no 2,4-D (II) and no boron, 2,4-D and IAA (III). ...

Many factors may influence the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis. This capability may be differ with regard to media compositions, genotype, tissue, organ ontology and the stage of differentiation. The effects of five salicylic acid concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) on different stages of carrot somatic embryogenesis were studied using petiole and root secondary phloem explants as sta...

plant tissue culture is an alternative method of commercial propagation and is being used widely for the commercial propagation of a large number of plant species, including many medicinal plants. somatic embryogenesis is a process by which asexual or somatic cells are induced to form embryos in culture. somatic embryogenesis is a multi-step regeneration process starting with formation of pro-e...

Background SALL gene family represent a group of evolutionary conserved zinc finger transcription factors which are involved in normal development. It includes four members (SALL1 to SALL4). SALL4 has significant roles in the maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal, efficient proliferation /stabilization and cell fate decision of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Our aim in this study was to a...

abstract in this research, the effects of ba with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 mg/l) in combination with iba (0, 0.01 and 0.1 mg/l) on bud growth and shoot proliferation and tdz with different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/l) in combination with 0 and 0.5 mg/l iba on somatic embryogenesis from different parts of immature cotyledons (proximal, median and distal) w...

salicylic acid play an important role in plants physiological processes. in this research the effect of salicylic acid on induction of somatic embryogenesis and plant pigments synthesis in the phloem and petiole explants of carrot in the b5 medium was investigated. we added treatments with 0, 0.5, 1.5, 2 and 3 mm to culture medium by experimental base on the randomized design to investigate the...
