Our previous publications and the data presented here provide evidences on the ability of plant-based culture media to optimize the cultivability of rhizobacteria and to support their recovery from plant-soil environments. Compared to the tested chemically-synthetic culture media (e.g. nutrient agar and N-deficient combined-carbon sources media), slurry homogenates, crude saps, juices and powde...

We have previously proposed that metabolic status is important in the regulation of cucumber malate synthase (MS) and isocitrate lyase (ICL) gene expression during plant development. In this article, we used a cell culture system to demonstrate that intracellular metabolic status does influence expression of both of these genes. Starvation of cucumber cell cultures resulted in the coordinate in...

background & aim: clematis is an ornamental and medicinal plant that is primarily planted as an ornamental plant. clematis orientalis is native to asia and central europe, used as an antiseptic and refrigerant. the propagation of clematis is very important. in this study, the effects of plant growth regulators on rooting and growth of the plants in vitro culture were examined. experimental:...

for sexual reproduction of allium hirtifolium, collected bulbs were planted in the field. in order to develop ovary embryo and seed setting, control self-pollination and natural open pollination took placed using honey bees under cages. ovary development and seed setting of a. hirtifolium extraordinary were affected by pollination and there was a significant difference between mean effect of se...

Three basal plant tissue culture media, namely, N6, MS, and modified Y3, were compared to optimize micropropagation protocol for E. guineensis. Full strength media were used separately to regenerate plantlets directly using immature zygotic embryos (IZEs), and through somatic embryogenesis of calli obtained from IZEs. The plantlets regenerated by direct regeneration on three media were examined...

mycoplasma synoviae (ms) is an important avian pathogen that can cause both respiratory disease and joint inflammation synovitis in poultry, inducing economic losses to the iranian chicken industry especially breeder farms. the aim of this study was to use the ms specific pcr and culture methods in order to detect of m. synoviae from breeder farms where located in tehran province. a total of 47...

This paper describes a prime and easy-touse protocol for large-scale production of plant lets through shoot tip culture of Lantana camera, the plant having phytoremediation potential and the method is useful for the ex-situ conservation of other species important for phytoremediation. A simple micro-propagation method from nodal and shoot tip explants were reported here for Lantana camera, at c...
