Celastrus paniculatus, belonging to the family Celastraceae, is an important medicinal plant of India. Owing to the ever-increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry, the species is being overexploited, thereby threatening its stock in the wild. Poor seed viability coupled with low germination restricts its propagation through sexual means. Thus, alternative approaches such as in vitro te...

Demand for therapeutic honey is driving establishment of Leptospermum plantations. This study developed micropropagation methods two species – polygalifolium Salisb. and L. scoparium J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. The determined how shoot proliferation adventitious rooting were influenced by the original explant position on seedling concentration benzyladenine (BA) in medium. Hormone-free node cultu...

The present study was undertaken to study the in vitro responses of different clones of Dalbergia sissoo. For this study, three clones: one from Uttarakhand (clone No.09), Rajasthan (clone No.59) and Haryana (clone No.79) were investigated. These clones were selected on the phenotypic characters of candidate plus trees namely: higher volume of wood, clean bole length and stem form, etc. These c...

The dark green leaves of Sauropus androgynus (Euphorbiaceae) have various nutritive values and are commonly used for human consumption as food, medicine, natural dye substance in South-east Asia. Shoot cultures this plant were established by adding concentrations kinetin (Kn) benzyl adenine (BA) using nodal explants. best results recorded when Kn 0.1 mg/L was with BA 1 (BA1Kn0.1). Spectrophotom...

Tissue culture techniques are widely used for the mass propagation of many species. In cashew in vitro propagation, some protocols need to be established at this end. The present work was carried out evaluate conditions regeneration seedlings from micropropagation by organogenesis on Benin genotypes. Nodal explants one-month-old greenhouse and cotyledonary nodes germination were purpose. BAP ki...

An in vitro collection has been established with selected European aspen from Palencia province (Spain). Currently, this collection includes 32 high quality clones, selected for their good bearing and healthy state. Most of them belong to different discrete local populations. Populus tremula L. was propagated in proliferation Aspen Culture Medium; they required subculture every 3 months. The pu...

Background: Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, an important anti-diabetic medicinal plant, becomes an inevitable alternative to sugar. Due to the propagation difficulties, tissue culture is the best alternative for rapid mass propagation of stevia plants. Objective: The present study was conducted to optimize a protocol for rapid micropropagation of Stevia rebaudiana by shoot tip explants and to inv...

Tissue culture techniques can be beneficial for quick clonal propagation and production of disease-free plants of purple passion fruit as one of the most important medicinal and ornamental plants. These techniques are essential tools for the production of transgenic plants and high-value phytochemicals. The present study was planned to introduce an efficient in vitro propagation for pu...

Bambusa balcooa Roxb. was in vitro propagated by optimizing protocol using nodal segment from secondary branches with 100% success MS liquid media containing 100 mg/l Myo-inositol, 3% sucrose supplement 4.4 - 26.64 ?M BAP for shoot multiplication, and 2.69 32.26 NAA root induction. The highest multiplication (14.53 ± 0.33 folds), length (5.9 0.6 cm), number per explants (4.0 0.24), rooting (89....
