BACKGROUND Bryophytes represent a very diverse group of non-vascular plants such as mosses, liverworts and hornworts and the oldest extant lineage of land plants. Determination of endogenous phytohormone profiles in bryophytes can provide substantial information about early land plant evolution. In this study, we screened thirty bryophyte species including six liverworts and twenty-four mosses ...

Improved crop varieties are needed to sustain the food supply, to fi ght climate changes, water scarcity, temperature increase and a high variability of rainfalls. Variability of drought and increase in soil salinity have negative effects on plant growth and abiotic stresses seriously threaten sustainable agricultural production. To overcome the infl uence of abiotic stresses, new tolerant plan...

Plant hormones have pivotal roles in the regulation of plant growth, development, and reproduction. Additionally, they emerged as cellular signal molecules with key functions in the regulation of immune responses to microbial pathogens, insect herbivores, and beneficial microbes. Their signaling pathways are interconnected in a complex network, which provides plants with an enormous regulatory ...

Background & Aim: Investigation of suspension cell culture and callus production in Catharanthus roseus. Catharanthus roseus is an herbaceous perennial plant belongs to the family Apocynaceae. C. roseus is important as commercial medicinal plant because of its alkaloidal content. Whole plant contains about 130 alkaloids those are classified as vinca alkaloids...
