Abstract. Seeds or plant organs are usually used as the materials for the long-term cryopreservation. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of seed cryopreservation of Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. as an endemic and endangered species because of genetic erosion. To evaluate seed potentials for the cryopreservation, four treatments including vitrification, 30% glycerol, desi...

Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. (Liliaceae) is a critically endangered lily species native tonorthern Iran, where it is protected by law. In order to develop a cost effective method for largescalepropagation, the effects of three culture systems (solid, liquid and temporary immersion)and two types of cytokinins [6-Benzyladenine (BA) and Thidiazuron (TDZ)] were studied onthe in vitro plant rege...

Understanding the relationships between biochemical contents and morpho-phenological aspects of a plant during life cycle would be helpful for doing precise agricultural practices through its cultivation. In the present study, various biochemical parameters were evaluated in relation to bulb storage, shoot growth and florogenesis in Iranian lily (Lilium ledebourii var. Kelardasht Salehi1). Ten ...

for half a century, the limitations of obtaining cross-combinations in lilies because of the incompatibility and incongruity between different varieties have been known. somatic hybridization is one of the most powerful tools for achieving distant interspecific hybrids. for this purpose, protoplast preparation is a first and important step in efficient system for the regeneration of plants from...

In biomedical informatics, ontologies are considered a key technology for annotating, retrieving and sharing the huge volume of publicly available data. Due to the increasing amount, complexity and variety of existing biomedical ontologies, choosing the ones to be used in a semantic annotation problem or to design a specific application is a difficult task. As a consequence, the design of appro...
