False aralia (Dizygothecaelegantissima) also known as spider aralia or threadleaf aralia, is grown for its attractive foliage. The long, narrow, dark green leaves with saw-tooth edges are coppery colored at first, but as they mature they turn dark green, appearing almost black on some plants. Field trials with False aralia (Dizigotheecaelegantissima) were conducted at the experimental greenhous...

Orthodox seeds may present ditTerences in germination due to severa] reasons. Poor seed germination Iimits the use of different species for culture or p]ant breeding. In this work, we tested treatments for improving germination in two cultivars of common eggplant (Solanum melongena) and in six accessions of the related species S. macrocarpon, S. aethiopicum, and S. incanum. With the exception o...

Background: Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have important roles in many processes such as germination, seedling growth, nutrition uptake, morphogenesis, ripening, etc. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gibberellic acid, indole butyric acid, and methanol as plant growth regulators on morpho-physiological and phytochemical features in Thymus vulgaris L. Methods: The farm...

In vitro clonal multiplication of apple rootstock MM 111 using axillary buds and shoot apices were carried out. Vegetative axillary buds of the size of 0.2-2.0 cm and shoot apices measuring 4 mm in length were initiated to shoot proliferation on MS medium supplemented with BA (0.5 - 1.0 mgl(-1)), GA3(0.5 mgl(-1)), with or without IBA(0.05 - 0.1 mgl(-1)). Small size explants showed less phenol e...

The germinatioil of seed can be controlled by ap)plication of exogenous hormones at physiological concenitrations. It is therefore possible that the n-atural control of germination involves an interplay of hormones, both promoters and inh,,ibitors. WXe have shown that cytokinins overcome the inhibitoryaction of several natural inhibitors in the germination of the photosensitive Grand Rapids let...

Among subtropical fruits Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana L.) one of the most common fruit crop, grown under neglected soil types. It is a drought hardy and can grow hazardous conditions soil, water climate thus it has rightly been recommended for arid desert area India [1]. found growing wild as well in cultivated forms throughout warmer regions up to an altitude 1500 metres above Mean Sea Level. The ...

taxus chinensis var. mairei is a rare and endangered medicinal plant species distributed in china. in order to promote fast propagation and preserve the natural resources, conditions for in vitro germination and seedling development of embryos of t. chinensis var. mairei from anhui or zhejiang were investigated. results showed that in vitro germination rate of excised embryos cultured under 14 ...
