Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) is a low-height perennial or biennial herb from the family of Asteraceae. Investigation different in vitro regeneration strategies Cichorium and increasing number secondary metabolites regenerated plant samples were aims research. Callus regenerations achieved basal growth media supplemented with regulators (PGRs). Whole was carried out by direct organogenesis lea...

A 12-year-old hairy root culture of Cichorium intybus L., a callus culture of the plant as well as roots and leaves of a wild plant of chicory, and roots of two C. intybus L. var. sativum cultivars were examined in respect of their hydroxycinnamate and sesquiterpene lactone compositions and contents. Total phenolics and diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of the examined plant ti...

We conducted four experiments to investigate the specificity of perceptual adjustments made to unusual speech sounds. Dutch listeners heard a female talker produce an ambiguous fricative [?] (between [f] and [s]) in [f]- or [s]-biased lexical contexts. Listeners with [f]-biased exposure (e.g., [witlo?]; from witlof, "chicory"; witlos is meaningless) subsequently categorized more sounds on an [e...

Expansion growth in response to auxin in chicory root slices is greater than that reported for any other fleshy tissue. Responsiveness depends on time of harvest and duration of root storage.

Four cultivars that had performed more favorably of several evaluated in 2000 Spring studies were compared on three plastic mulches and a bare ground control in Spring 2001. All cultivars performed similarly on the plastic, for the most part all performing better than on the bare ground. As in previous studies, the percentage of plants forming marketable was less than desirable, ranging from a ...
