Continuous production of healthy plantlets of Sapindus trifoliatus L. was achieved via somatic embryos from long term cultures of an embryogenic mass (EM). A highly embryogenic culture of S. trifoliatus L. was obtained by recurrent embryogenesis from somatic embryos cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with kinetin (2.3 microM) and benzyladenine (8.8 microM). The cultures ...

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...

As the dimensions of electronic devices become smaller, they enter the realm of nano-electronics, where the device dimensions lie between the inter-atomic spacing (lnm) and the electron wavelength (lOnm). This offers greatly-enhanced packing density and speed of operation, but introduces the difficulty of maintaining signal quality over large distances. The paper introduces an architectural sol...

A high throughput regeneration protocol has been developed for Lagerstroemia speciosa through node explants under the regime of various plant growth regulators (PGRs). This can provide an alternative mode to seed-grown plants and minimize cost–time regeneration, significantly. Murashige Skoog (MS) medium containing combinations PGRs exhibited a marked stimulatory effect on morphogenesis. Of tri...

Liquidambar styraciflua L. seedlings and tissue-cultured plantlets were grown under high, medium, or low (315, 155, or 50 microeinsteins per square meter per second photosynthetically active radiation) quantum flux densities. Net photosynthesis, chlorophyll content, and chloroplast ultrastructure of leaves differentiated from these conditions were investigated. Seedling photosynthetic rates at ...

Ex vitro strawberry plantlets from micropropagation and coinoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) biochar can provide beneficial health effects. In the present study, we evaluated effects of different proportions in presence absence AMF on production secondary metabolites leaves roots during ex acclimatization. Additionally, enzymatic activity substrate enriched was analyzed. The exp...

the natural lignan podophyllotoxin, a dimerized product of two phenylpropanoid moieties which occurs in a few plant species, is a pharmacologically important compound for its anticancer activities. optimization of the in vitro cultures might lead to a renewable source of lignans for medicinal uses. in order to maximize efficiency of podophyllotoxin accumulation via in vitro cultures, the effect...

An efficient protocol was developed for the regeneration of plantlets via direct and indirect organogenesis from stem nodal segments of Naravelia zeylanica (L.) DC. (Ranunculaceae). The interaction of 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) with -naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium induced a varied morphological response. A maximum of 17.6 ± 1.5 shoots per explant were obtaine...
