The aim of our study was to consider the efficiency of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis to show the differences between Rhododendron mutants and control plants. The mutant plantlets were selected due to their better In vitro shoot and root regeneration relative to control in both varieties. Six mutant plantlets from Alfred and seven mutant plantlets from Paars variety were sel...

Abstract Orchids with their sheer variety of species are amazing, a major sharer in global floriculture trade. Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim, well known hybrid orchid, also recognized as official National flower Singapore is resilient, sun loving which blossoms throughout the year. Though seed pod derived from single contains millions dusty seeds, due to lack endosperm, seeds cannot germinate with...

Monitoring of pathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum (Fox), which cause wilt and rots on agricultural and ornamental plants, is important for predicting disease outbreaks. Since both pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of Fox are ubiquitous and are able to colonize plant roots, detection of Fox DNA in plant material is not the ultimate proof of an ongoing infection which would cause damage ...

Morphological, anatomical and physiological features of in vitro plantlets are affected by the environmental conditions experienced. The high water content inside in vitro-formed tissues makes difficult to maintain the original characteristics of samples from in vitro plantlets during the preparation procedures for morphological and anatomical studies. In this paper, micropropagated Vitis vinif...

Plant somatic cells have the remarkable ability to regenerate an entire organism. Many species in the genus Kalanchoë, known as "mother of thousands," develop plantlets on the leaf margins. Using key regulators of organogenesis (STM) and embryogenesis (LEC1 and FUS3) processes, we analyzed asexual reproduction in Kalanchoë leaves. Suppression of STM abolished the ability to make plantlets. Here...

Micrografting can be used to produce healthy seedlings, assess scion-rootstock compatibility and promote precocity. The first objective of this project was to study the impacts of in vitro micropropagation of four major Iranian pistachio cultivars, namely ‘Ahmad Aghaei’, ‘Akbari’, ‘Badami Sefid’ and ‘Kalle Ghochi’ in two different medium Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Driver and Kuniyuki...

As interest in how to increase biomass production through biotechnological means gains traction, focus is turning towards the use of photoautotrophic micropropagation under elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) to maximize plant growth and productivity. The effect of super-elevated CO2 with cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) on the photoautotrophic growth of Oncidesa in vitro has been stu...

An autotrophic culture system was developed for the in vitro mycorrhization of potato plantlets. Roots of micropropagated plantlets were associated to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus under in vitro conditions, while shoots developed under open air conditions. Several thousand spores, an extensive extraradical mycelium and an abundant root colonization were obtained. Spores were able to coloniz...

Cotyledonary leaf from 12 days old aseptically grown seedlings were used as explant. explants of two BINA varieties tomato cultured on MS medium containing different concentrations and combinations BAP, Kn IAA for multiple shoot formation via organogenesis. 100% induction was observed when the supplemented with IAA. Earliest within four weeks. The media 1.5 mg/l BAP + 0.5 0.2 found to be best r...
