two separate factorial experiments were conducted to study the effects of explant sources, plant growth regulators, sucrose concentrations, and light conditions on in vitro cormlet formation of freesia (freesia ×hybrida bailey 'argenta'). interestingly, it was observed that the pupae had lower contamination levels compared to mother corms. using 40% sodium hypochlorite solution for 40 min, cont...

two experiments were performed for in vitro establishment, proliferation and shoot growth in axillary bud explants of sebri pear cultivar. in the first experiment, the effect of different concentrations of iba(indole-3-butyric acid) on explants’ establishment was evaluated. in a second experiment, the influence of several combinations of pgrs (plant growth regulators)on shoot proliferation and ...

interactive effect of plant growth regulators6-benzylaminopurine (bap) (0, 2, 4 and 8 µm) and1-naphtalene acetic acid (naa) (0, 0.05, 0.25 and 0.5µm) in van der salm (vs) medium was used to optimize in vitro propagation of rosa hybrida cv. iceberg.shoot proliferation and number of new leaves weremeasured as growth indicators. as the concentrationof bap was raised, growth rate increased with all...

shoot tips from actively growing, greenhouse maintained plants of kalanchoe blossfeldiana were cultured in vitro for shoot proliferation and root initiation on murashige and skoog (ms) basal medium supplemented with naa and ba, both in concentrations of 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mg l-1. results showed that the maximum plantlets height (7.012 cm), node number (4.516), root number (8.860) and roo...

In order to improve the shoot proliferation rate of ‘Dwarf Cavendish’ banana shoot tip cultures, polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) was employed at concentrations of 2, 4, and 6% (w/v). The medium without PEG was considered as negative control. An increasing of shoot proliferation was achieved in MS medium containing 2% PEG. Furthermore, application of 2% PEG significantly increased the shoot dry we...

Apple is one of the most important temperate-zone fruit trees in the world. Micropropagation of apple scion and rootstocks is an important method of rapid production of healthy and disease-free plants. In this research, in vitro propagation of three apple roottocks including Azayesh-Esfahan, Morabbaee-Mashhad and M9 was investigated. Shoot proliferation carried out in two basal media (MS and WP...

Nano-fertilizers can increase value of products in agriculture. Iron plays many important and essential roles in plant growth and development as compared to other micronutrients. In the present study, effects of different levels of enriched nano chelated Iron fertilizer (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg l-1)  were investigated in comparison with the common Iron (FeSO4.7H2O) on in vitro proliferation of ...

the influence of explant nodal positions on the in vitro shoot growth and proliferation were studied in the two rose cvs. ‘bianca’ and ‘el torro’. third, fourth and fifth nodal explants were cultured on the modified ms medium supplemented with 1.0 and 5.0 mg/l ba. in both the cultivars, higher rate of proliferation (‘bianca’ 3.75; ‘el torro’ 2.65) were obtained from the explants distal to the a...

in this research, the effect of different concentrations of chitosan (with low molecular weight) on in vitro proliferation of grape cultivar, ’bidaneh ghermez‘, was evaluated. 30 days after establishment, elongated shoots were cultured on the half strength murashige and skoog medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l bap, 0.1 mg/l iba and different chitosan concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/l). t...
