Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate air layering, cutting, and grafting, with different indolebutyric acid (IBA) rates, for the vegetative propagation Eugenia involucrata. Air layering carried out two consecutive years five IBA rates. Cutting tested woody herbaceous cuttings, using four in three seasons. grafting methods – cleft graft splice were For trials experimental designs ...

Shoot-tip cultures of Pyrus elaeagrifolia Pallas, an important gene source for drought and chlorosis resistance in pear rootstock breeding, were established from a wild mature tree originated from seed. Murashige and Skoog basal medium supplemented with different concentrations of benzyladenine (BA) singly or in combination with auxin was used in the study. In the initial culture, the highest p...

An efficient and highly reproducible protocol for micropropagation of bird eye chilli Capsicum frutescens was attempted. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.5-3.0 mgl(-1) of 6-benzyladenine (BA), 2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP), kinetin and 0.5-2.0 mg l(-1) of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) along with 1 gl(-1) activated charcoal (AC) were used for shoot regeneratio...

The effect of plant hormones on the growth of lichen-forming fungi (LFF) was evaluated. The use of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid and indole-3-butyric acid resulted in a 99% and 57% increase in dry weight of the lichen-forming fungus Nephromopsis ornata. The results suggest that some plant hormones can be used as inducers or stimulators of LFF growth for large-scale culture.

An internal standard, [(13)C][indole-2]-indole-3-butyric acid, was synthesized from indole-2[(13)C] and was shown to be effective for the quantitative determination of indole-3-butyric acid from plant tissue. When this standard was used along with [(13)C(6)]indole-3-acetic acid, both indolic auxins could be quantified from the same tobacco (Nicotiana tabacam) leaf sample by isotope dilution ana...

Current literature is lacking regarding the vegetative propagation of cambuci tree (Campomanesia phaea O. Berg Landrum). This study aimed to verify efficiency cutting techniques via assessment cuttings varying types and sizes, sampling dates, influence treatments containing plant growth regulator indolebutyric acid (IBA) combined with antioxidant ascorbic across different immersion times. The s...

The crystal structures of the complexes of heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin with indole-3-butyric acid and with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid were studied by X-ray diffraction. The complexes crystallize in the monoclinic P2(1) space group. The host molecules are elliptically puckered and stacked along the a crystal axis, in a head-to-tail fashion, forming columns. One primary met...

The induction of rooting in microshoots of Zingiber officinale cvs. Suprava, Turia local, Suruchi and V3S18 was achieved on half-strength basal Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 0.5-1.0 mg/l either indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 2% (w/v) sucrose within 7-9 days of culture. Rooting was inhibited when the microshoots were cultured under higher concentra...

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 ...
