In micropropagation of lily, preferably bulblets should be produced: Because bulblets are compact and robust, they are much easier to handle and to plant in soil than shoots. In this review, the various factors that determine bulblet growth in vitro are discussed. Gibberellins, jasmonates (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) are the major identified plant growth regulators (PGRs) for storage organ form...

Muscari armeniacum is one of the important ornamental cut flower in floriculture industry which native to Southern Europe, North Africa, Western Asia and Asia Minor. In this study, bulb explants (basal plate of bulb having meristem), bulb scales and leaf segments from in vitro derived bulblets were culture in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with different plant growth regulato...

The micropropagation of Lilium longiflorum requires adequate equipment which may not be afforded by small laboratories or producers. In this work we compared traditional methodology with a protocol that included easily available elements to sterilize materials and culture media, together with addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into the nutrient media as chemical sterilizer. A series of H2O2 c...

Multiple shoot clumps or microclones were collected from two onion (Allium cepa L.) varieties for bulblet formation. MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP, Kn, 2ip and NAA used. The height responded was observed 90% 80% in Taherpuri Indian variety, respectively on 2.0 mg l-1 BAP+0.5 NAA. best formation obtained containing 1.0 2ip. Finally, the rooted bulblets hardened establ...

oriental hybrid lily “arabian red” mother scales were stored in moist cocopeat and perlite (1:1) for 3 or 5 months at 25 ̊c. the numbers of scale bulblets per mother scale were nearly identical in two durations. increasing storage duration promoted the growth of roots (number and length) and no. scales per scale bulblets. and, diameters of scale bulblets were more in longer storage duration (5 m...

abstract persian shallot (moseer) belongs to alliaceae family, is a perennial medicinal and industrial edible alliums in iran. very little information is available about different aspects of this species particularly on its agronomical production. in order to determine optimum sowing date and plant density in persian shallot, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on complete randomize...
