Panax ginseng Meyer is an important medicinal crop; however, most farmers cultivate native species that are not genetically fixed. Although several cultivars have been developed in Korea, distribution to remains insufficient given their low propagation characteristics. This study compared the efficiency of seed production and micropropagation via somatic embryogenesis. Seeds were collected from...

Initiation stage of in vitro culture grapes is a critical clonal micropropagation, the purpose which to obtain maximum number sterile and viable regenerative plants.
 Modern varieties are hybrids between main species Vitis vinifera, V. labrusca, riparia, amurensis, rupestris,
 berlandieri lincecumii, require selection optimal cultivation conditions: timing initiation,
 concentrat...

A complete micropropagation protocol was developed for Pistacia vera cv. Ghazvini, an important rootstock in Pistachio orchards in Iran. In present study, the efficiency of a new medium called GNH (Garoosi, Nezami and Haddad) was investigated against some standard media. Different vitamins, calcium (Ca) sources and plant growth regulators (PGRs) were tested on in vitro shoot multiplication and ...

In vitro microbial contaminations are the most serious problems in plant tissue culture. Initial attempts for micropropagation of Dionysia tapetodes, a beautiful alpine cushion plant from north-east Iran, led to 100% explants contamination. Hence, the present study was conducted to develop an efficient surface sterilization protocol for in vitro culture of field collected D. tapetodes using com...
