Dog rose (Rosa canina) is one of the most important flower crops in the world and has a value in ornamental, pharmaceutical and cosmetic trade. Also it was used as a root stock for other cultivars of Rose. Hence this investigation was attempted with the aim to study direct regeneration of Rosa canina. The experimental data of the present investigation was analyzed statistically by using complet...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Lotus japonicus 'Gifu' develops multiple axillary shoots in the cotyledonary node region throughout the growth of the plant. The origin, initiation and development of these axillary meristems were investigated. METHODS Morphological, histological and mRNA in situ analyses were done to characterize the ontogeny of cotyledonary axillary shoot meristems in Lotus. Morphologica...

to evaluate the effect of foliar application of nano iron chelate and iron chelate fertilizers on morphological traits and essential oil content of holy basil, an experiment was conducted at research farm of department of horticultural, shahid chamran university of ahvaz based on randomized complete blocks design with six treatments and three replications. the treatments were including control,...

BACKGROUND Persistent diarrhea is a common endemic disease with high incidence among the Africans including Nigerians. It also represents a frequent opportunistic disease in people living with HIV. Diarrhea represents one of the most distressful and persistent symptoms of HIV/AIDS, which may or may not be accompanied by an infection. The leaves decoction of Baissea axillaries Hua (Apocynaceae) ...

Development of the plant shoot is dependent on the shoot apical meristem. Interactions between KNOX homeodomain transcription factors and the myb domain transcription factor AS1 (ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1) regulate both meristem function as well as leaf patterning. This review summarizes these interactions.

Buchanania axillaries(Anacardiaceae) is a traditional herbal medicine , the leaves are used to treat many diseases including cardiotoxicity.’The present study was designed to scientifically evaluate the cardioprotective potential of the ethanol extract of Buchanania axillaries(BA), on Doxorubicin (DOX) induced cardiotoxicity, in albino rats. DOX is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic dru...

A total of 284 specimens of Scianidae fishes Kathala axillaris and Nibea albida were collected from Parangipettai coastal waters southeast coast of India and examined for endohelminth parasites. Seven helminth species were recorded. Capillaria brevispicula, Porrocaecum reticulatum, Leppetascaris lutijani (Nematodes), Hemiurus appendiculatus, Stephanostomum triacanthi (Trematodes), Rhadinorhynch...

The expression of acrotony (i.e., the increasing size of comparable lateral shoots toward the apex of the main shoot) was similar among first-order shoots borne along previous-year leaders of young Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. and Picea rubens Sarg. trees. The position and nature (i.e., whether cones, second-order shoots or non-flushed buds) of lateral axes borne alo...

Basal shoots produced by Arbutus unedo L. after cutting at ground level vary in size and growth rate, and are classified accordingly as dominant or suppressed. The suppressed shoots eventually cease growth and die. In this study, we investigated the role of light and water in the competition among shoots of A. unedo. Dominant and suppressed shoots of A. unedo showed similar leaf water potential...
