Abstract
Callus developed from anther explants of Cucumis sativus L. cultured an modified Nitsch and Nitsch and on Murashige and Skoog basal media. Meristemoids and embryoids were induced when callus was recultured on solidified Nitsch medium containing 20 g/liter rafflnose. Embryoids developed into seedlings.
Abstract
The outer pericarp thickness of fruit of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) ripened off the vine depended upon the maturity of the fruit when harvested. Immature fruit has thinner outer pericarps than fully mature green fruit. Similar results were obtained with 4 cultivars and 3 fruit sizes. The pericarp thickness did not change during a 6-day ripening period for any maturity. There was no difference in number of cells in the outer pericarp due to maturity or fruit size.
Abstract
Optimum shoot development of Epiphyllum chrysocardium Alexand. stem cutting was obtained on a modified half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/liter benzylamino purine (BA). Best rooting occurred after subculturing excised shoots on half-strength MS supplemented with 0.01 mg/liter indolebutyric acid (IBA).
Abstract
A high percentage of successful bud unions were obtained by bench chip budding selected Rosa hybrida L. budwood on dormant, unrooted Rosa multiflora Thunb. understock. Chip budding was successful using both hand technique and a Liliput grafting tool. Parafilm strips were the most effective graft wrapping material.
