Magnetic particle monitoring on leaves in winter: a pilot study on a highly polluted location in the Po plain (Northern ...

Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research International

Environmental monitoring in Northern Italy, one of the most polluted areas in Europe, is of paramount importance. Leaf monitoring throughout magnetic and scanning electron microscopy (SEM–EDS) analysis could be considered a good complementary analysis to sampling stations, but the lack of evergreen plants in the northern Italy towns may hinder magn...

Direct organogenesis and in vitro regeneration of plants of Piper marginatum.

Piper marginatum, popularly known in Brazil as Caapeba, is a native Amazonian plant of shrubby size, traditionally used for its active principles that act as therapeutic agents in wounds and pathologies. The objective of this work was to establish a protocol for the in vitro propagation of this species from leaf explants. For this, leaves were coll...

In vitro propagation of Piper hispidum by somatic embryogenesis in leaf explants.

A protocol for regeneration of P. hispidum through somatic embryogenesis in leaf explants is described. Under aseptic conditions, the leaves were cut into 1.0 cm2 explants. These explants were inoculated into test tubes with 10.0 mL of an Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal culture medium supplemented with 30.0 g L-1 sucrose, 6.0 g L-1 agar and a factor...
