Epiphyllous plantlets develop on leaves of Bryophyllum marnierianum when they are excised from the plant. Shortly after leaf excision, plantlet shoots develop from primordia located near the leaf margin. After the shoots have enlarged for several days, roots appear at their base. In this investigation, factors regulating plantlet root development were studied. The auxin transport inhibitor 2,3,...

Here, efficient plantlet regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from Panax quinquefolium hairy roots was reported. Callus development was optimal on MS medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (1 mg l) and -naphthalene acetic acid (1 mg l). After a 4-week growth, calli were transferred onto MS medium with different combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs). The highest embryogenesi...

When leaves of Bryophyllum marnierianum are detached from the plant, plantlets develop from primordia located at their margins. Leaves excised with a piece of stem attached do not produce plantlets. Severing the major leaf veins overcomes the inhibitory effect of the attached stem, indicating that the control agent is transmitted through the vascular system. A possible mechanism is that an inhi...

effects of different paclobutrazol concentrations (0, 250, 350 and 450 mgl-1) and plantlet density (80, 100 and 120 plantlet/m2) on minituber production per plantlet in potato cultivar ‘sante’ were investigated in a factorial experiment based upon a randomized complete block design of 4 replications. paclobutrazol (cultar with 250 g/l of active ingredient) was used as foliar application at earl...

Purpose of the study: The goal of this study was to review the recent evidence regarding the pathophysiology of reactive skin, acne vulgaris and rosacea, with a focus on the link between the impaired skin barrier and the inflammasome. In this context, we evaluated the activity of Rhealba oat plantlet extract on the inflammasome in vitro. Procedures: Using an in vitro inflammatory model of Recon...

Establishment of efficient protocol for the induction of somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration from shoot tip explants was achieved in Glycine max (L).Merr. cv.PK472. Highest frequency (95%) of embryogenic callus formation was obtained from shoot tip explants of Glycine max (L).Merr.cv.PK472 on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium fortified with different concentration of 2,4-Dichloropheno...

Cattleya intermedia is an Atlantic Forest species endemic to Brazil that is classed as vulnerable on the list of threatened species. In this study, C. intermedia plantlets were micropropagated in an asymbiotic culture and the influence of different concentrations of sucrose (15, 30, 45 and 60 g L-1, plus a zero sucrose medium) and macronutrient salts (complete Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium an...

The present study was performed to unravel the mechanisms of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) establishment and resistance signaling pathways against the canker-rot fungus (Inonotus obliquus strain IO-U1) infection in Japanese birch plantlet No.8. Modulation of protein-profile induced by salicylic acid (SA)-administration was analyzed, and SA-responsive proteins were identified. In total, 5 s...
