Shoot proliferation is a very important micropropagation phase, decisive for economic
efficiency of this method for a given taxon. To obtain a high multiplication ratio and a good …

Seaweed extracts have shown profoundly positive effects on crop growth, quality and
reproduction in diverse agricultural and horticultural crops. Seaweed extracts can be used to …

An efficient micropropagation protocol developed for sesame using cotyledonary node
explants derived from 7-day-old in vitro grown seedlings. The efficacy of meta-Topolin (mT) …

Somatic embryogenesis (SEMs) is an effective micropropagation method that has been
successfully applied to many different plant species; however, little is known about the SE in …

Discoveries of new plant growth regulators are significantly enriching the range of tools used
by researchers in plant tissue culture. Meta-topolin (m T, 6-(3-hydroxybenzylamino) purine) …

The New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research Limited (PFR) supports a large
kiwifruit breeding program that includes more than twenty Actinidia species. Almost all the …

Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), belonging to Solanaceae family, globally ranks as
the fourth-largest food (vegetable) crop. In order to sustain the supply of quality propagules …

Rooting tissue-cultured shoots and acclimatizing the rooted plantlets are key final steps in
successful micropropagation protocols. We assessed the effect of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) …

Endosperm, an ephemeral and storage tissue, serves as a source of nutrition and protection
during embryo development and germination. It can be used for the cultivation of polyploid …

An improved in vitro propagation protocol by use of meta-Topolin (mT) hormone was
developed in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) using nodal explants derived from 12 …
