Abstract:
... To date, mechanized picking of famous tea (bud, one bud one leaf) causes a lot of damage. Manual picking results in high-quality tea but the process is inefficient. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of mechanically harvested tea buds, the study of bionic picking is beneficial to reduce the damage rate of mechanical picking. In this paper, the manual flexible picking process is studied, an ...

Abstract:
... We undertook the present study to investigate the factors affecting multiple shoot induction in Lantana camara L. Among all the explants used only shoot-tip explants derived from 1- and 2-week-old seedlings could form multiple shoots. BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine) was the most effective PGR (plant growth regulator) in inducing multiple shoots. Similarly, IBA (Indole-3butyric acid) efficiently induced ...

Abstract:
... Damage by the shoot-tip borer Hypsipyla robusta (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) has limited the commercial cultivation of Chukrasia tabularis (Meliaceae) in many parts of the world. Recently, a number of C. tabularis families in Vietnam have shown field resistance to H. robusta. This study explores whether endophytic bacteria in C. tabularis can inhibit the development of H. robusta. Endophytic bacteria ...

Abstract:
... Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is the most destructive etiological agent limiting banana cultivation areas globally. This study attempted BBTV elimination by traditional shoot-tip culture (control) and alternative shoot-tip + electrotherapy (treated) techniques. Shoot-tip culture from Musa acuminata cv. ‘Grand Naine’ infected sources were exposed to 100 mA electric current for different time inter ...
... Shoot tip culture is a very effective approach for studying plant viruses. In this study, we evaluated the numbers, diversity, and titer of grapevine viruses in in vitro grapevine plants after long shoot tip culture. Six virus-infected grapevine cultivars (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Gernischt, Cabernet Sauvignon, Wink, Victoria, and Merlot) collected from six regions of China were used as the resear ...
... The effect of 10 µM meta-topolin (mT) and meta-topolin riboside (mTR) on in vitro proliferation and anomalies of Pistacia vera L. were evaluated and compared to that of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). The highest proliferation rate (15.6) was recorded in the mT-medium, with a value 6 times higher than in BA-medium. Moreover, the lowest percentage of hyperhydric usable shoots (58,9%) and callus weight (4 ...
... Hibiscus moscheutos L., also known as hardy hibiscus, is valued for its medicinal and ornamental attributes. It is usually propagated via seeds or cuttings. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a dependable micropropagation for H. moscheutos ‘Luna White’. To that end, the effect of four explant types (leaf, root, node, shoot tip) and two growth regulators 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and m ...
... Lindernia minima is an endangered and endemic plant species (Red list data of IUCN). Based on the IUCN threat status and highly restricted distribution, the present research work develops an efficient micropropagation method for its conservation. The present study employed purified vermicompost extract in combination with different concentrations of phytohormones on plant regeneration and in vitro ...

Abstract:
... Salix acmophylla Boiss. has a traditional role in several regions of the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. As with many other woody species, the development of methods for fast propagation and ex situ conservation of this species is needed. We describe for the first time a micropropagation protocol of three S. acmophylla ecotypes. The best results for shoot proliferation were obtained by cu ...
... New gynoecious bitter gourd line, KAU-MCGy-101 identified from Kerala Agricultural University, India, was morphologically characterized. Silver thiosulphate (STS) was used for altering the sex expression of gynoecious line. STS induced hermaphrodite flowers in gynoecious plants and maximum number of hermaphrodite flowers was in plants receiving single spray at 200 ppm after emergence of first fema ...
... Cryopreservation is known be an effective method for virus elimination in garlic. However, oxidative damage during the cryopreservation seriously affects the survival of garlic after cryopreservation. Ascorbic acid (AsA) can reduce oxidative damage and improve regrowth following cryopreservation, and its effect may be influenced by the step during which it is added. In this study, AsA was added at ...
... MAIN CONCLUSION : The use of beneficial microorganisms improves the performance of in vitro - cultured plants through the improvement of plant nutrition, the biological control of microbial pathogens or the production of phytohormones that promote plant growth and development. Plant in vitro culture techniques are highly useful to obtain significant amounts of true-to-type and disease-free plant m ...

Abstract:
... For many woody species, such as Quercus robur, cytokinins in the culture medium are required to maintain in vitro plant material. Among synthetic cytokinins, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and kinetin (KIN) are the most frequently used. In addition to inducing shoots, cytokinins can cause morphophysiological disorders. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the anatomical, biochemical, and physiological al ...
... As in vitro culture environments can be mutagenic, it's challenging to produce true-to-true type plants from meristems. Therefore, the present study aimed to devlop an efficient protocol for micropropagation from shoot tip explants of medicinally important Aloe vera using different concentrations of A. vera leaf gel (AvG) as organic supplement to the culture media. Assessment of the genetic stabil ...

Abstract:
... Flavonoids are phytochemical compounds that are essential for plant growth and human health. Chalcone isomerase is one of the key enzymes involved in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum), a classic type of grain, is significantly important for both medicines and foods because of the high level of flavonoid content. In this study, a CHI gene and its 5’ flankin ...

Citrus virus A (CiVA), a novel negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus assigned to the species Coguvirus eburi in the genus Coguvirus, was detected in South Africa with the use of high-throughput sequencing after its initial discovery in Italy. CiVA is closely related to citrus concave gum-associated virus (CCGaV), recently assigned to the species Citrus coguvirus. Disease association with CiVA i ...
... Black cardamom (Amomum tsao-ko Crevost & Lemarié) is a spice plant of great commercial value in Vietnam, but with limited propagation ability. Its seeds are characterized by a thick and hard seed coat, a small endosperm, and a small embryo, which are the causes of the physical dormancy of the seeds and low germination. Attempts in this study to improve the germination rate and achieve uniform germ ...
