In vitro cormogenesis is a potential tool for improving saffron production under controlled conditions. this study, the effects of explant type, culture and medium supplements on daughter corm formation in were assessed. Saffron flowers emerged 30 days after culture, sizes in-vitro- ex-vitro-produced stigmas similar. life cycle was completed 10 14 weeks respectively. Using intact corms more eff...

Carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) have been suggested as a new synthetic class of antimicrobials to treat bacterial infections. Here we utilized a novel EBOR-CORM-1 ([NEt4][MnBr2(CO)4]) capable of water-triggered CO-release, and tested its efficacy against a collection of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that differ in infection-related virulence traits. We found that while EBO...

The evolution and maintenance of combined vs. separate sexes in flowering plants is influenced by both ecological and genetic factors; variation in resources, particularly moisture availability, is thought to play a role in selection for gender dimorphism in some groups. We investigated the density, distribution, biomass allocation, and physiology of sympatric monomorphic (cosexual) and dimorph...
