Cytokinin induced shoot regeneration and flowering of Scoparia dulcis L. (Scrophulariaceae)–an ethnomedicinal herb

Phytoecological evaluation with detail floristic appraisal of the vegetation arround Malam Jabba, Swat, Pakistan

“…Moreover, in all the cases, there was a gradual decrease in temperature with rising altitude and at the top, both aspects had the same air and soil temperature. Some other workers also reported that south facing slopes of Docut Hills had higher temperature and lower humidity than north facing slopes and this agrees with the present findings [11] . Likewise two other ecologists have also observed that the north and south facing slopes of Karamar Hills had different micro climatic condition and hence vegetation [2,15] .…”

“…This could be due to erosion which has removed the top fertile layer and organic matter which is raw material for nutrient release. Other workers also reported low nutrient status of the soil due to deforestation and erosion from various parts of Swat and our findings of study is consistant with theirs [10,11] . At certain places the water holding capacity was relatively high, probably due to high organic matter contents.…”

Shoot multiplication of two <em>Sequoia sempervirens </em> genotypes with addition of small concentrations of kinetin

“…However, it is necessary to highlight once more that the responses to such plant growth regulators depend on the species. For example, the multiplication of a medicinal plant (Scopari dulcis) showed that shoot induction was improved by a combination of both BAP and KIN (Premkumar et al, 2011). On the contrary, for cucumbers, the best results of the shoot multiplication stage were obtained when only kinetin was supplemented to the MS medium (Abu-Romman et al, 2015).…”

Improved Micropropagation in &lt;i&gt;Hybanthus enneaspermus&lt;/i&gt; L. Muell

“…The role of BAP or KI alone on MS medium for shoot bud induction was reported in many plants [8]. In contrast, high frequency multiple shoot induction by the combination of BAP and KI reported in few [9]. Banerjee and Shrivastava [10] also reported the pooled effect of BAP and KI in in-vitro multiplication of Bacopa monnieri.…”
