Pueraria candollei Wall. ex Benth. var. mirifica (Airy Shaw & Suvat.) Niyomdham was investigated for callus induction using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different plant growth regulators. After 8 weeks of culture, 66 - 100% of leaf or stem explants formed calli. Calli from stem explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l...

Licorice plants, Glycyrrhiza glabra, G. uralensis, and G. inflata, were investigated for callus induction using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium combined with auxins and cytokinins. After 4 weeks of culture, 33-100% of leaf or stem explants formed calli. Maximum of shoot induction from callus cultures was achieved by G. inflata stem explants culture...

Callus cultures of Vaccinium corymbosum var. bluecrop were optimized for their isoprene derivatives production by supplementing Schenk-Hildebrandt (SH) medium with constant concentration of kinetin (2.32 μᴍ) and two different amounts of selected auxins. Every auxin, except for IBA, used in 10-time higher concentration (2,4D, NAA, IAA, NOA) stimulat...

The homogeneity, density and axenic nature of cell culture system s have made them an amenable tool for studying many aspects of biocide research; screening, metabolism , m ode of action and resistance. Cell cultures are “multi-homogeneous” and each homogeneous state may be analogous to different plant parts. Cultures can be homogeneously green, ho...

Undifferentiated callus cultures of Solanum khasianum contain only traces of steroidal glycoalkaloids, whereas cultures which have just started to generate rootlets contain these com pounds at a level of up to 5.2% of the dry weight. Only 0.34% steroidal glycoalkaloids occur in the seeds; they consist predominantly of solasonine and solanidine as w...
