Abstract The endophytic bacteria can be in symbiosis with host plants, owing to the natural stability advantages degrading pollutants. To explore technological feasibility of this method for indoor formaldehyde removal, a system combining and plants was established. In present study, highly efficient formaldehyde-degrading Ochrobactrum intermedium , named strain ZH-1, successfully induced antib...

BACKGROUND Chlorophytum borivilianum is an industrially valued medicinal crop. Propagation through seeds is not feasible because of low germination percentage and long dormancy period. Therefore, callus culture and plant regeneration can be an alternative to improve this crop production. Also, callus can serve as an alternative source of bioactive compounds. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect o...

Stomatal openings can be stimulated by light through two signalling pathways. The first pathway is blue light specific and involves phototropins, while the second pathway mediates a response to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). This second pathway was studied with the use of albino Vicia faba plants and variegated leaves of Chlorophytum comosum. Treatment of V. faba with norflurazon (N...
