Cellular growth dynamics and allelopathic activity in coffee cell cultures were examined as follows: First, we compared of seven woody plant calli, Coffea canephora, Derris indica, Ficus carica L., Juniperus conferta, Prunus persica, Punica granatum, Sonneratia ovata, using a modified “sandwich method bioassay” found that callus showed the strongest inhibition to lettuce seedling nearly 90% hyp...

The present study reports an efficient protocol for isolation and regeneration of protoplasts from callus of Fritillaria imperialis L. There is no published method recommended for protoplast isolation and regeneration from Fritillaria imperialis L. A range of factors, which influence the success of isolation and regeneration of F. imperialis protoplasts, were investigated. From the results obta...

Embryogenic calli were induced from longitudinally bisected segments of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Cymbidium Twilight Moon ‘Day Light’, a hybrid orchid, on modified Vacin and Went medium [Bot. Gaz. 110 (1949) 605] supplemented with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) alone or in combination with N-phenyl-N′-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl urea (TDZ) within 1 mont...

Callus induction and regeneration in vitro of three rice varieties (Oryza sativa L. ssp indica), Bg 94-1, Moraberekon and Bg 300 were examined. Phenotypic variations of regenerated and parent plants were compared and the method of plant regeneration was confirmed by histology. Callusing was induced by culturing the mature embryos of the three rice varieties in a liquid medium of distilled water...

The purpose of the research study is to select the best rice explant and variety for Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation studies. In vitro callus induction and regeneration frequency of two explants i.e. immature embryo and mature grains of 9 rice varieties (Oryza sativa L.) was investigated by culturing explants source on N6 media supplemented with 2, 4-D at 2mg/l for callus inductio...

For systematic and genome-wide analyses of rice gene functions, we took advantage of the full-length cDNA overexpresser (FOX) gene-hunting system and generated >12 000 independent FOX-rice lines from >25 000 rice calli treated with the rice-FOX Agrobacterium library. We found two FOX-rice lines generating green calli on a callus-inducing medium containing 2,4-D, on which wild-type rice calli be...

In an effort to design a bioassay to screen for biocontrol pathogens and their toxins, procedures were developed to produce calli of yellow starthistle (YST), Centaurea solstitialis (Asteraceae), on solid and liquid media. Three Murashige and Skoog (MS) media with different hormone additives were compared for their effects on the growth of the YST calli. The most effective medium was made of MS...
