The research aimed to investigate the regenerative capacity of Cymbidium aloifolium shoot tips obtained in vitro. Shoot-tip explants (
In this work, cultures of callus and suspension cells originating from leaves of sterile highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) plants were obtained and characterized. For their active growth and production of phenolic compounds, a combination of 2,4-D at a concentration of 0.34–2.25 µM and BAP at a concentration of 0.45–2.25 µM is effective....
Germination is a bioprocessing technique used by the food industry to improve the nutrient content of seeds. Imbibition is considered a crucial stage for optimal plant development. In this research, four different groups of seeds were studied to evaluate the effect of using probiotics during the imbibition phase on the germination process, as well ...
Aquilaria crassna Pierre ex Lecomte is a principal species renowned for its production of agarwood. However, the active components of agarwood are not universally in compliance with the standards set by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. We have identified an elite A. crassna tree with agarotetrol and alcohol extract levels that exceed these standards and ...
Viruses and viroids pose a significant challenge in citriculture, and their control is crucial for plant health. This study evaluated the effectiveness of in vitro thermotherapy combined with a meristem tip culture for eliminating citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) and hop stunt viroid (HSVd) from a new limonime hybrid (Citrus x limon var. limon x Citr...
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) is a valuable crop with diverse applications, but its in vitro rooting can be hindered by its sensitivity to natural auxins and it often fails to root due to callus formation. The current study investigates the effects of light spectra emitted by LEDs and the application of trans-cinnamic acid (t-CA) on the m...
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentration is directly proportional to the amount of vermicompost (VC) added to sand substrates. The objectives of this work were to establish the effect of the amount of VC in sand substrates on the concentration of IAA and to determine its influence on tomato plants. Sand substrates with VC percentages (0, 20, 40, an...
Micropropagation facilitates the rapid production of roses. Nevertheless, in vitro rhizogenesis of essential oil roses has presented significant challenges, primarily attributed to low rates of rooting and poorer acclimatization compared to ornamental rose varieties. This study reports the optimization of in vitro rooting of Al-Taif rose (Rosa dama...
Auxins are chemical compounds of wide interest, mostly due to their role in plant metabolism and development. Synthetic auxins have been used as herbicides for more than 75 years and low toxicity in humans is one of their most advantageous features. Extensive studies of natural and synthetic auxins have been made in an effort to understand their ro...
Climate change causes shifts in temperature patterns, and plants adapt their chemical content in order to survive. We compared the effect of low (LT) and high (HT) growing temperatures on the phytochemical content of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. convar. botrytis (L.) Alef. var. cymosa Duch.) microgreens and the bioactivity of their extracts. Usin...
