While seed-propagated crops have contributed many evolutionary insights, evolutionary biologists have often neglected clonally propagated crops. We argue that widespread notions about their evolution under domestication are oversimplified, and that they offer rich material for evolutionary studies. The diversity of their wild ancestors, the diverse ecologies of the crop populations themselves, ...

Tissue culture is a potent means for producing clonally propagated plants. However, genetically identical regenerants are of great concern due to their economic consequences. Therefore, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular markers employed detect somaclonal variations. In this study, the genetic fidelity in vitro raised Philodendron bipinnatifidum clones, and mother plant was tested ...

Primrose (Primula spp.), in the Primulaceae family, blooms early spring and is produced as a seasonal flower or potted ornamental. Even though primroses can be propagated by separating offspring from mother plant, reproduction coefficient low irregular late germination seen their seeds that prevent mass production. Therefore, with this study, it was aimed to production of wild primroses, which ...

in order to  study the effect of beet mosaic virus on sugarbeet seed yield, an isolate of beet mosaic virus was collected from sugarbeet fields in karaj and biologically was purified by inoculation on chenopodium amaranticolor and propagated on beta vulgaris cv. cicla under greenhouse conditions. the infected sap was inoculated on leaves of  sugar beet  7233 variety at  two stages, after and be...

Medicinal plants are valuable sources of botanical drugs, extracts and pure compounds. Although several species can be propagated or collected, the access to herbal material is limited in certain cases. The protection natural habitats biodiversity demands new provide plant secondary metabolites medical importance. Adventitious root culture used harvest from medicinally important plants, thereby...
