salvia leriifolia (lamiaceae) is endemic of khorasan and semnan province and an endangered plant. poor seed germination of this plant has a serious problem with the high production. the first step to improve this precious plant is to produce sterile plantlets in order to prepare explants of appropriate vigor. in this study,in vitro culture of salvia leriifolia zygotic embryo was performed throu...

Using cotyledons of 2-week old in vitro germinated seedlings, a rapid and efficient regeneration protocol was established for A. mangium on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. Cotyledons showed better direct shoot organogenesis producing maximum 10.88 ± 0.35 shoots per explant when cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 μM BA and 1.0 μM NAA. Full strength of MS medium supplemented with ...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of light and plant growth regulators on callus induction and explant browning in date palm cultivar, Estameran in in vitro condition. The explants were pretreated by an antioxidant combination (100 mgl-1 citric acid and 150 mgl-1 ascorbic acid) for 3 days in 5 °C. Then, the  leaf explants  were cultured in Murashige and Skoog medium (MS)...

Somatic embryogenesis was achieved in four leguminous tree species, that is, Acacia catechu, Acacia arabica, Hardwickia binata, and Dalbergia sissoo using immature zygotic embryos as explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.25-1.0 mg/l Kn (kinetin) and 2.0-3.0 mg/l 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) or NAA (1-napthaleneacetic acid) and 3% sucrose. MS medium containing...

Knowledge concerning in vitro regeneration and developmental responses of Abelmoschus moschatus Medik. L. (muskdana plant) is limited. Aseptic seedlings were successfully raised on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium augmented with GA (0.5 mg L ). The seeds did not germinate on MS medium alone. 3 1 Cotyledonary Node (CN) gave the best response with regard to induction of multiple shoots among...

Two separate factorial experiments were conducted to study the effects of explant sources, plant growth regulators, sucrose concentrations, and light conditions on in vitro cormlet formation of freesia (Freesia ×hybrida Bailey 'Argenta'). Interestingly, it was observed that the pupae had lower contamination levels compared to mother corms. Using 40% sodium hypochlorite solution for 40 min, cont...

strawberry is a valuable, nutritious, and economically important fruit all over the world including bangladesh. therefore, there is a demand to develop a suitable variety of strawberry. for this purpose, leaf explants from in vitro grown strawberry plantlets were cultured onto ms medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of 2,4-d, naa and ba for callus induction. the mo...
