Early changes in the concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) were investigated in the larger axillary bud of 2-week-old Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Tender Green seedlings after removal of the dominant apical bud. Concentrations of these two hormones were measured at 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours following decapitation of the apical bud and its subtending shoot. Quantitation...

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...

The bud bank of perennial grasses is a controlling factor in population dynamics and estrongly affected by soil water nitrogen status. To explore how the size its components affect shoot density under different moisture contents spring autumn. A three-full-factorial field experiment with factors treatment timing (spring autumn), rate (control 10 g N m−2 yr−1) irrigation +40 mm rainfall) was con...

Potato MADS box 1 (POTM1) is a member of the SQUAMOSA-like family of plant MADS box genes isolated from an early stage tuber cDNA library. The RNA of POTM1 is most abundant in vegetative meristems of potato (Solanum tuberosum), accumulating specifically in the tunica and corpus layers of the meristem, the procambium, the lamina of new leaves, and newly formed axillary meristems. Transgenic line...

Plants are valuable sources of a vast array of chemical compounds like alkaloids, flavonoids, pigments, antimicrobials, pharmaceutical, etc. The majority of the compounds were produced by plants during different stages of cell, tissues and organ differentiation. Plant tissue culture is the process by which parts of plant can be grown in vitro condition in a sterile culture medium. The nutrient ...

Micro-propagation of olive provides the possibility of producing clones of native plants with appropriate attributes and mass reproduction in short period of time, compared to conventional methods. Apical dominance in olive explants limits the growth of lateral branches in vitro. The effect of Woody Plant Medium (WPM), Olive Medium (OM) and Murashig and Skoog (MS) with carbohydrate source (mann...

Micropropagation of three genotypes of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] using 7-days old seedling-derived transverse thin cell layer (tTCL) explants was accomplished. The genotype, explant source and addition of silver nitrate to the medium significantly influenced shoot bud induction. MS medium with 26.6 μM of 6-Benzylaminopurin (BAP) and 3.22 μM of 1-naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) wa...

Aconitum vilmorinianum, a well-known traditional Chinese herb, is recently being threatened by overexploitation and environment disturbance. This study was conducted to provide propagation methods through in vitro germination explant cultivation. Germination stimulated up 66.00% on Murashige Skoog (MS) medium containing 2.0 mg L−1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 0.1 1-napthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 30...

The demography of the bud bank and its sprouting capacity are important for understanding the population dynamics of clonal plants and their potential responses to disturbances. To this end, we investigated the size and composition of the bud bank of Miscanthus sacchariflorus (Maxim.) Hack. immediately after flooding (November), in winter (January), in spring (March), and before flooding (May) ...
