Micropropagation of Asclepias curassavica L. a medicinal plant valued for its medicinal properties has been carried out using two different plant culture media, Murashige and Skoog (MS) and L2. L2 medium proved to be superior to MS medium in terms of shoot multiplication and shoot length. Nodal explants showed enhanced organogenic response than shoot tip explants. Basal nodal explants produced ...

The present investigation was conducted to develop a protocol for rapid plant regeneration in potato. The newly emerge sprout of six potato cultivars were used as explant. Varietal response on in vitro regeneration under different hormonal concentration and combination were studied. MS medium supplemented with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0 mg L of KIN and IAA in combination of both were employed for ...

While in the movie Deadpool it is possible for a human to recreate an arm from scratch, in reality plants can even surpass that. Not only can they regenerate lost parts, but also the whole plant body can be reborn from a few existing cells. Despite the decades old realization that plant cells possess the ability to regenerate a complete shoot and root system, it is only now that the underlying ...

abstract lettuce (lactuca sativa l.) is a major leafy vegetable and belongs to the asteraceae family (compositae). the genetic manipulation of lettuce requires a reliable and efficient regeneration method. since lettuce is a suitable bioreactor for production of recombinant proteins especially edible vaccines. this study was conducted to identify an appropriate method for lettuce gene transform...
