This paper describes attempts to localize the site of perception of low temperatures (0-10 degrees C) during thermoinduction in Thlaspi arvense L. Reproductive development (stem elongation and flower formation) was observed when shoots were cooled to 4 degrees C for 4 weeks and then returned to 21 degrees C while maintaining the roots constant 21 degrees C. However, chilling the roots was ineff...

A procedure was developed for in vitro propagation of Curculigo latifolia through shoot tip culture. Direct regeneration and indirect scalp induction of Curculigo latifolia were obtained from shoot tip grown on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of thidiazuron and indole-3-butyric acid. Maximum response for direct regeneration in terms of percentage of explant...

A protocol for direct shoot regeneration without intervening callus phase was developed by shoot tip culture of MS (murashinge and skoog) medium for teak. The study reveal that aseptically inoculated shoot tip of teak in established shoot induction and shoot multiplication was also observed at same concentration .At BAP 1mg/l, IAA 1mg/l and kin 1mg/l the shoots were weak ,tiny and non separable...

This study was performed for comparison of meristem culture technique with shoot tip culture technique for obtaining virus-free plant, comparison of micropropagation success of two different nutrient media, and determination of effectiveness of real-time PCR assay for the detection of viruses. Two different garlic species (Allium sativum and Allium tuncelianum) and two different nutrient media ...

A Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens) shoot culture system, initiated from shoot tip culture, was used to generate a source of host plant tissue for the rearing of the nematode Subanguina picridis, a biocontrol agent for Russian knapweed. Young shoots growing on solid B5G medium in petri dishes developed galls on leaves, petioles, and shoot tips 7 days after release of 50 nematodes onto the su...

In the research it was examined the changes in total phenolic contents and seven major phenolic compounds (gallic acids, +(−) catechin, catechol, Chlorogenic acid, o-coumaric acid, rutin and quercetin) of two litchi cultivars (Purbi and Bedana) shoot tips and fruits (for zygotic embryos) collected in different months, in order to determine their effects on the explants browning during establish...
