A commentary on Invasion of shoot apical meristems by Chrysanthemum stunt viroid differs among Argyranthemum cultivars Given that they do not encode proteins, viroid RNAs are extremely dependent on host factors for completing their infection cycle. This cycle consists of: (i) access to the organelle wherein they are replicated, the nucleus in the family Pospiviroidae (type member potato spindle...

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...

To develop an alternative method for production of sarsasapogenin by plant tissue culture technique and its quantification in Asparagus racemosus and its in vitro cultures using HPTLC. Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) basal medium supplemented with various growth regulators was used for development of shoot and root calli while, hormone free MS medium was used for development of Agrobacterium tumefac...

Indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol esters constitute 30% of the low molecular weight derivatives of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in seeds of Zea mays. [(14)C]Indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol was applied to a cut in the endosperm of the seed and found to be transported from endosperm to shoot at 400 times the rate of transport of free IAA. The rate of transport of indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol from endosperm...
