An in vitro micropropagation protocol was developed for Capsicum chinense Jacq. popularly known as habenaro pepper which is one of the world’s hottest chilli and it is a traditional food item of the Naga people. Nagaland is believed to be the original home for the chilli pepper. The Guinness book of World record has awarded this chilli as hottest one as it contains 1,041,427 Scoville Heat units...

Present study aimed for in vitro culture of circinate part of young leaves of D. esculentum which is amongst the leafy vegetables consumed as vegetable by Paniya and Chetti tribes of Western Ghats. The circinate part of young leaves (crosiers), excised before the beginning of foliar expansion, was inoculated on half strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with auxins indole-3-buty...

Tissue culture techniques can be beneficial for quick clonal propagation and production of disease-free plants of purple passion fruit as one of the most important medicinal and ornamental plants. These techniques are essential tools for the production of transgenic plants and high-value phytochemicals. The present study was planned to introduce an efficient in vitro propagation for pu...

In vitro propagation through nodal explants by indirect organogenesis of Clinacanthus siamensis Bremek. Nodal segments were surface sterilised in NaOCl for 5 min. This is followed by treating it with 0.1% Hgcl2 for 8 min. Different concentrations of BAP and 2P were added to full strength MS medium for culture initiation. Multiple shoots were formed in MS medium augmented with various concentrat...

Objective: Here, we established the protocol for plant regeneration of Psoralea corylifolia via In-vitro micro propagation. Methods: The Apical meristems was used as the explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (MS) supplemented different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators, 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Kinetin (Kn), 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and B5 vitam...

An effective and improved plant regeneration system was successfully developed using shoot tip explants taken from a two years old mature plant of Cassia angustifolia. The effect of different cytokinins, [6-benzyladenine (BA), Kinetin (Kin) and thidiazuron (TDZ)] at different concentrations (0.5-10 μM) were evaluated as augmented with Murashige and Skoog (MS 1962) medium. Among all the cytokini...

BACKGROUND Aloe vera L. is an important pharmaceutical plant from which several medicinal and cosmetic compounds are extracted. Aloe is naturally propagated through offset, which is a slow and expensive labor cost method with low economical income. OBJECTIVES In this study, the effect of different media on shoot proliferation of the shoot tip of Aloe vera L. was investigated. MATERIALS AND ...

Rubus spp. is a shrub-form plant known for its fruits called blackberries. Blackberries are plants with high commercial value, delicious taste, nice aroma, and nutritional value. Turkey has wealthy genetic origins of species. Conventionally, the trading propagation done as vegetatively, utilizing truncation, rooting, or stratuming. However, these traditional methods time-consuming inefficient i...

fig trees are threatened by the attack of fig mosaic disease (fmd) on leaves and fruits caused by viruses of several genera. shoot-tip culture is a convenient method for viral sanitation. for this purpose, a reliable protocol for rapid in vitro propagation was developed with shoot-tips of three major tunisian local fig (ficus carica l.) varieties zidi (zdi), soltani (sni), bither abiadh (ba) an...

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...
