Multiple shoots were induced from axillary and apical buds of Crossandra infundibuliformis (L.) on MS medium containing BAP and kinetin individually. The maximum number of multiple shoots were obtained from MS medium containing BAP 1 mgÿ1. The subcultures were done on fresh medium with the same composition and the number of multiple shoots increased during subculture of both types of explant. A...

Paulownia tomentosa is a fast-growing tree species with a considerable economic potential because of its value for wood as well as its high biomass production, and elevated stress tolerance. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the development of adventitious buds in leaves obtained from four-week-old shoots of P. tomentosa, in order to identify the cells involved in in vitro adve...

Callus induction responses and regeneration through callus-mediated SE were studied from evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) as an important medicinal plant of Onagraceae mainly known for its gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) content. The effects of cytokinins, 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and N-(2-furfurylamino)1-H-purine-6-amine [Kinetin (Kin)] and their concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/l) in ...

In vitro propagation of rose (Rosa indica) as well as rose breeding is a valuable economic enterprise and has received highest importance globally including Indian subcontinent. The development of new cultivars for commerce is faced with new challenges. In vitro micropropagation protocols of varieties of roses have been established but very few reports on the clonal propagation of local cultiva...

The propagation of oil palm seeds through tissue culture and somatic embryogenesis is a preferred method due to its ability produce entire plants without the need for gamete fusion. While embryo proliferation typically performed on solid media, this approach less efficient than liquid which both more cost-effective can lead better results. Thus, study aimed determine most effective combination ...

Late-gestation lung protein 1 (LGL1) is a glycoprotein secreted by fetal lung mesenchyme that stimulates branching morphogenesis of the developing lung bud. We show that Lgl1 mRNA and protein are also expressed in mesenchymally derived lineages of fetal kidney. Although Lgl1 expression is stimulated by glucocorticoids in kidney cells, cortisol (10(-7) M) actually suppresses ureteric bud branchi...

A major aspect of postembryonic plant development is the formation of secondary axes of growth: vegetative branches, inflorescence branches, or flowers. The first step in side-shoot development is the establishment of lateral meristems in the axils of leaves. GRAS-, MYB-, and bHLH-type transcription factors act as key regulators of early steps in this process. The REVOLUTA subfamily of HD-ZIP t...
