To maximize the economic benefits of Hyacinthus orientalis L., micropropagation and morphogenesis induction five cultivars were investigated under four different concentrations indole acetic acid (IAA) with two cytokinins, benzyl adenine (BA), or kinetin (Kin). Days for initiation shoot formation in red fewer than blue white cultivars. Blue showed an increase fresh weight chlorophyll content ei...

In vitro shoot multiplication of Merton I. 793, a clonal apple rootstock, was achieved through terminal/axillary bud culture using Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 0.5-1.0 mg/L 6-benzyl amino purine (BA) and 0.1 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Time of collection of explants, duration of surface sterilents and growth regulators added in the medium influenced the survival...

An efficient protocol providing a dual regeneration pathway via direct shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis for an endangered species, Metabriggsia ovalifolia W. T. Wang, was established from leaf explants. When applied at 2.5 μM, the cytokinins 6-benzyladenine (BA) or thidiazuron (TDZ) and the auxins indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and indole-3-acetic acid ...

A field experiment was conducted using a 3 × 3 orthogonal regression design to explore the growth promotion of one-year-old Yunnan pine seedlings (Pinus yunnanensis Franch.) in response to foliar application of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) and IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) in order to promote the growth during the seedlings' ea...

A novel combination of plant growth regulators comprising indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) in Murashige and Skoog basal medium has been formulated for in vitro induction of both shoot and root in one culture using cotyledonary node explants of guar, (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). Highest percentages of shoot (92%) and root (80%) induction were obtaine...

This article highlights the efficacy of plant growth regulators and nutrient solutions on root development and survival of ascending purple milkvetch (APMV) cuttings. Three auxin-like growth regulators and Hoagland solutions were used as root inducing agents. The cuttings were planted in sand medium that allowed evaluation of rooting effectiveness. The study showed that up to 100% establishment...

An effi cient protocol for organogenesis through leaves has been established for Launaea sarmentosa (Willd.) Sch. Bip. ex Kuntze, a highly valuable medicinal plant. The leaf explants produced microshoots on MS basal medium when fortifi ed with cytokinins and auxins. A combination of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) at 0.5mg/l and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0.2mg/l resulted in the induction of hig...

Bud break and multiple shoots were induced in apical and axillary meristems derived from one month old seedlings of S. mukorossi on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with benzylamino purine (BAP) 0.4 microM or 0.8 microM alone. A combination of BAP and gibberellic acid (GA3) 0.4 microM and 2.8 microM produced elongated multiple shoots from both types of explants. Excised shoots were ...

Antibacterial activity of Costus igneus was conducted. The plant C. igneus was well known for its anti-diabetic property. Traditionally the plant was used to treat fever, rash, asthma and intestinal worms. Two growth regulator IAA (Indole 3-acetic acid) and IBA (Indole butyric acid) in combinations were applied to MS medium for direct root induction. MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/ml IBA, in...

the research has been done for assessment of effects of different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (iba) on rhizogenesis of scions of c. phlomidis in 2010.  the research has been done on randomized complete-blocks for five replications and three treatments with zero, 2000ppm and 3000pmm concentration. different characters such as number of root of each scion, length of root, length of ne...
