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...

Cell culture in shake flask and air-lift bioreactor was carried out to exploit the potential of Arnebia sp. for napthoquinone metabolite production. Cell suspension cultures of Arnebia were established from friable callus in liquid MS medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (10 μM) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (5 μM). Growth kinetic studies were done by using settled cell volume a...

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 ...

Increasing shoot branch numbers of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat cv. Hangbaiju (Hangbaiju) is crucial for producing high flower yields. Pot experiments were designed to evaluate the effects foliar application 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) combined with prohexadione-Ca (Pro-Ca) on yield and quality flowers. Foliar 6-BA Pro-Ca typically increased leaf chlorophyll content decreased soluble sugar pro...

Utilization of Solanum lycopersicum L. and its varieties contribute to plant biotechnology study the effect genes flower transition events. This aims optimize media light intensity for in vitro flowering a cherry tomato variety. Induction was carried out using seven types combined with 3 intensities, followed by feeding adding liquid medium MS+PBZ 1 mg/L. A positive response is shown at 2,600 l...

Abstract Phyto-hormones play a key role in regulating plant responses to stress. Cytokines are type of phyto-hormones involved the regulation many important biological processes related growth, development, and response environmental variables. The exogenous application cytokines increases possibility delaying senescence; however, this is physiological process, and, under certain conditions, de...

This first-attempt study used microtome-based methods to generate a thin cell layer culture for the micropropagation of Phal. Hwafeng Redjewel × New Cinderella. Protocorms were embedded in various agarose concentrations (8–12%, w/v) and dried from 1 8 h before sectioning with microtome. Optimal conditions slicing sections 100 300 μm achieved when protocorms at 10% (w/v) 4 under laminar flow, ha...
