transverse thin cell layer sections excised from in vitro scales of lilium ledebourii were cultured on murashige and skoog (ms) medium supplemented with various plant growth regulators (pgrs) at different concentrations. although, bulblets were produced on pgrfree ms medium during organogenesis, addition of 0.25 mg l-1 6-benzyladenine or 5.0 mg l-1 indole-3-acetic acid to the medium increased t...

The aim of this study was modelling the spatial distribution ofLilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. based on ecological characteristics, in order to predict potential habitats for conservation of a rare plant. Knowledge of the spatial distributions of rare and threatened species and the underlying ecological factors plays an important role in regional conservation assessments and development planni...

Abstract. Seeds or plant organs are usually used as the materials for the long-term cryopreservation. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of seed cryopreservation of Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. as an endemic and endangered species because of genetic erosion. To evaluate seed potentials for the cryopreservation, four treatments including vitrification, 30% glycerol, desi...

Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. (Liliaceae) is a critically endangered lily species native tonorthern Iran, where it is protected by law. In order to develop a cost effective method for largescalepropagation, the effects of three culture systems (solid, liquid and temporary immersion)and two types of cytokinins [6-Benzyladenine (BA) and Thidiazuron (TDZ)] were studied onthe in vitro plant rege...

Understanding the relationships between biochemical contents and morpho-phenological aspects of a plant during life cycle would be helpful for doing precise agricultural practices through its cultivation. In the present study, various biochemical parameters were evaluated in relation to bulb storage, shoot growth and florogenesis in Iranian lily (Lilium ledebourii var. Kelardasht Salehi1). Ten ...
