Foreign proteins synthesised by plants are now in the marketplace, and clinical trials for plant-derived therapeutic proteins are underway. Economic analysis of plant production systems has helped identify the types of protein that would be most suitable for manufacture using tissue culture methods. The major advantages associated with in vitro plant systems include the ability to manipulate en...

To optimize conditions for micropropagating Galanthus transcaucasicus Fomin, the effect of explant type, different concentrations of sucrose, type and different concentrations of auxin were examined on bulblet production. For the induction of bulblets, three types of bulb scales were usesd as explants. A two-step sterilization procedure was applied. Assessments were made after incubation for 20...

the chloroplast whose genes are actually in the nucleus. One example of this is a protein (an enzyme) called "Rubisco" that is involved in carbon-fixation in the chloroplast. The Rubisco enzyme is made up of eight large protein subunits and eight small protein subunits. The genes for the large subunit are found in the chloroplast DNA, but the genes for the small subunit protein are found in the...

country in the world, facing great pressures regarding population growth, environmental deterioration and resource depletion, has ranked plant biology as one of its highest priorities since the early 1950s, especially in the area of agricultural development. Since plant biotechnology became available, it has developed rapidly in agriculture-related plant biology research. Two crucial innovation...

Leaf explants of kaladium dwubarwne Caladium bicolor (Aiton) Vent., were cultured in vitro on MS media supplemented with 25 different concentrations of BAP and NAA in order to determine the appropriate concentrations for micropropagation. All combinations induced callus formation on explants. Callus production on leaves explants grown on control medium was very low. The medium enriched with 4 m...

Surface sterilization of explant is an important and most sensitive step in plant tissue culture. Inappropriate concentrations of sterilants have lethal effect in cell division and it restricts growth and development of explant. Therefore, suitable concentration, combinations and duration of exposure of sterilant is essential to raise in vitro cultures successfully. This data demonstrates use o...

Abstract Plant tissue culture is effective for plant propagation or biotechnology purposes, one of which anther culture. Anther pepper difficult because callus growth, regeneration organs, and low effectiveness. Pre-treatment such as cold temperatures can increase the induction growth embryogenesis in cultures. This study aimed to determine effect pre-treatment period on formation local Aceh pl...

HIGHLIGHTS Tissue culture technique is considered to be one of the best methods reproduce salvia plant. Salvia a medicinal plant with lots chemical constituents. plays an important role in treating different fatal diseases. Maximum fresh and dry weights were obtained at 1.5 mg L-1 melatonin. highest DPPH scavenging activity, total phenolics flavonoid content
