Lodging is a significant risk in intense cereal production and may severely reduce seed yield and quality. Lodging is strongly influenced by cultivar and husbandry factors including sowing date, seed rate, drilling depth and rate of nitrogen application. A number of PGRs are known that reduce stem length, thereby lowering the leverage of the ear and other parts of the shoot. Increased stem stab...

Irish potatoes are amongst the most highly grown and demanded crops in Kenya for food, industrial starch, animal feed. Farmers, however, face a serious challenge regarding timely availability of well-sprouted seed potato tubers due to physiological dormancy period 2–3 months, thereby reducing production cycles. This study determined effects different chitting methods on enhancing presprouting v...

In this review, we report on the different plant growth regulators (PGRs) affecting callus induction, callus-mediated regeneration, organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis from explants and micropropagation through shoot tip nodal cultures in Turkey Berry (Solanum torvumSW). The fruits of guard against liver kidney damage, stop certain cancers, regulate blood sugar levels. They benefit digestion, ...

Biotechnological approaches provide an efficient and expeditious system for developing agronomic features of rice at the cellular molecular level compared to traditional breeding methods. The in-vitro regeneration method optimization recalcitrant indica genotypes is a critical step biotechnological further development as optimum concentrations Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) vary from genotype g...
