Research Highlights: In the current study, we established a method for plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis (SE) in Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm. for the first time. Background and Objectives: K. paniculata is an important ornamental and medi...
There is an increasing trend in forest production towards planting rapid-growing trees as attractive, environmentally friendly energy sources. This study aimed to establish an alternative to the traditional propagation of a number of selections of Ro...
The present investigation was undertaken to standardize the media and the anti-browning regime in order to minimize the phenolic browning of an in vitro culture of Persian walnut cv. Sulaiman. The experiments involved two types of explants, forced an...
Juniperus drupacea Labill. (Cupressaceae) is a species with ecological and medicinal value. In Europe, it is native only in southern Greece, and is listed as endangered. Due to its uniqueness, this study attempted, for the first time, an in vitro pro...
Cannabis has been cultivated for thousands of years for a variety of purposes, including fiber, seeds, oil, and medicinal compounds. The cannabis industry is growing rapidly because several countries have recently legalized the use of cannabis. In th...
Catalpa bungei C. A. Mey is a unique and precious multi-purpose tree species that possesses great timber-related, ornamental and medicinal values. In this study, MS, N6 and DKW were used as basic media, and different concentrations of 6-BA and NAA we...
The Fengfeng mining area is in the transition zone between the North China Plain and the Taihang Mountains, and groundwater is the main source of water supply in the district. Under the combined influence of human activities and natural geological co...
The walnut cultivar ‘Yunxin No. 14’ is an early fruiting, high-yielding, and widely adaptable fruit tree with compact growth and superior nuts. Establishing a successful tissue culture system for this cultivar is crucial for its rapid clo...
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) is an important fruit crop in East Asia and has great commercial potential due to the high demand for fresh edible fruits or processed dried persimmon, as well as its being a source of raw materials for the chemical...
Castanea sativa cv. ‘Garrone Rosso’ and ‘Marrone di Castel del Rio’ are two of the most prized varieties in Italy due to their valuable and healthy nuts used for fresh consumption and in the confectionery industry. Despite the...
A simple method for the efficient high-throughput transformation of hybrid poplar (Populus tremula x alba clone 717 1B) is described. Factors considered in developing the method included the ease and efficiency of preparing large numbers of explants...
Difficult-to-root plants often perform poorly during acclimatization and in vitro rooting can increase the survival and quality of plants. The influence of auxin application and mineral nutrition on in vitro rooting and subsequent effects on plant qu...
American chestnut (Castanea dentata), a native species of eastern North America, is an economically important deciduous hardwood tree that has been designated as endangered in Canada. The population of American chestnut trees has dwindled significant...
Blue and supplemental far-red light were observed to affect in vitro shoot growth with Cannabis sativa (‘BaOx’ and ‘Cherry 1’) in RV750 vessels. A modified “hedging” and fed-batch system for multiple harvests using...
‘Korlaxiangli’ pear occupies a pivotal position in the pear industry of Xinjiang, with both its cultivation area and total output ranking first in the region. However, ‘Korlaxiangli’ is vulnerable to freezing injury and has su...
Natural populations of bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum Pursh) trees contain, at low frequency, individuals with stems that have attractive and valuable wavy grain in the wood. To maintain the genotype of these individuals, vegetative propagation is...
