Abstract Since the 1980s, there has been a significant emphasis in biotechnology on utilisation of medicinal plants as source raw materials for pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, have identified potential alternative essential compounds with wide range applications, including those involved producing medications, nutraceuticals, food additives, cosmeceuticals, natural pigments, and preservative...

Background Conifer clonal forestry as a form of plantation forestry has great potential advantages. However, vegetative propagation of conifers, especially that of mature trees, is quite problematic. These species also are most recalcitrant objects for cultivation in vitro. For this reason the development of an effective system for clonal micropropagation of some conifers is still an important ...

Wetland grasses and grass-like monocots are very important natural remediators of pollutants. Their genetic improvement is an important task because introduction of key transgenes can dramatically improve their remediation potential. Tissue culture is prerequisite for genetic manipulation, and methods are reported here for in vitro culture and micropropagation of a number of wetland plants of v...

an efficient and cost effective protocol for in vitro propagation of pineapple (ananas comosus var. queen) has been developed. in the proliferation stage, agar based murashige and skoog (ms) media was supplemented with 3.0 mg/l benzyleaminopurine (bap), 0.5 mg/l indole acetic acid (iaa) and 50 mg/l adenine sulphate as rbc design experiment. two approaches were taken to reduce the chemical cost ...

Aglaonema widuri is an evergreen and indoor ornamental plant. This study aimed to investigate the effect of some plant growth regulators on micropropagation of A. widuri. A protocol was developed for high frequency in vitro multiplication of ...

Brassavola nodosa (L.) Lindl. is a tropical epiphytic orchid showing characteristics of interest for the ornamental nursery industry, as well considered an endangered species. Problems with traditional propagation methods limit development large-scale commercial production system. The use micropropagation has been investigated this species, and liquid in vitro systems showed potential temporary...
