Crataeva religiosa G. Forst. var. nurvala (Buch.-Ham.) Hook. F. & Thomson (syn. Crataeva nurvala Buch.-Ham.), a fast growing medicinal tree species, has been successfully micropropagated under in vitro conditions. Direct multiple shoots were regenerated from nodal explants on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium, solidified by agar and supplemented with 1 mg/L 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP) and 0.5 m...

To study the influence of sand particles on strength and dry–wet cycle characteristics cement-solidified South China coastal soft clay, a series clay samples with different contents sizes were prepared, unconfined compression (UCS) tests, tests under seawater freshwater conditions, scanning electron microscopy X-ray diffraction carried out. The test results show that UCS cement–sand-solidified ...

Callus induction and regeneration in vitro of three rice varieties (Oryza sativa L. ssp indica), Bg 94-1, Moraberekon and Bg 300 were examined. Phenotypic variations of regenerated and parent plants were compared and the method of plant regeneration was confirmed by histology. Callusing was induced by culturing the mature embryos of the three rice varieties in a liquid medium of distilled water...
