The present study was carried out to investigate laboratory germination responses of six collections of Garcinia kola seeds to six different hormonal pre-germination treatments. This consisted of soaking seeds for three days in cool distilled water (control), in cool distilled water supplemented with 10 M of either naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), benzylamin...

In vitro multiplication is an important tissue culture technique that capable of efficiently producing seedlings at any scale. It a propagation method based on the aseptic small propagules in suitable medium to enable plant regeneration. Multiplication experiments conducted set protocols adapted wild Manihot species have used modified mineral salts and MS vitamins as basic medium. Here, 25 trea...

Abstract Bioprospecting of anti-SARS-corona virus phytochemical agents is an important issue today as alternative to chemical drugs whose effectiveness has not been fully successful with no light effect. Quercetin, a component Toona sinensis young leaves extract, was reported have anti-viral activity against SARS-corona replication in vitro . Currently, the low efficiency secondary metabolite p...

A plant tissue culture protocol from stevia was optimized for the production of planting materials and natural sweetener, rebaudioside A. The highest survivability (88.90% ± 5.55) explants achieved at 15 30 days after initiation (DACI) on Murashige Skoog (MS) media by sterilization with 30% Clorox (5 min) 10% (10 min), respectively. Supplementation MS 0.50 mg/L 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2...
