an efficient and cost effective protocol for in vitro propagation of pineapple (ananas comosus var. queen) has been developed. in the proliferation stage, agar based murashige and skoog (ms) media was supplemented with 3.0 mg/l benzyleaminopurine (bap), 0.5 mg/l indole acetic acid (iaa) and 50 mg/l adenine sulphate as rbc design experiment. two approaches were taken to reduce the chemical cost ...

Four porous carbon samples denoted as LSC-1, LSC-2, LCS-3, and LSC-4 were prepared by carbonization of loofah sponge pretreated by ZnCl₂ activation, immersion in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), DMF-assisted solvothermal and melamine-assisted hydrothermal processes, and the specific surface areas were 1007, 799, 773, and 538 m²·g-1 with mainly micropores, respectively. Electrocapacitive properties ...
