Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor 3-methoxybenzamide enhances in vitro plant growth, microtuberization, and transformation efficiency of blue potato ( Solanum tuberosum L. subsp. andigenum ) In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol.-Plant (IF 1.814) Pub Date : 2020-07-10 Venkateswari J. Chetty, Dora J. García, Javier Narváez-Vásquez, Martha L. Orozco-Cárdenas
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) are involved in the regulation of plant growth and development, especially under stress conditions. These enzymes post-translationally modify target proteins by adding ADP-ribose polymers. This study presents the effect of PARP chemical inhibitor 3-methoxybenzamide (3 MB) on in vitro plant growth, microtuber formation, and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of

Plant regeneration from Eucalyptus bosistoana callus culture In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol.-Plant (IF 1.814) Pub Date : 2020-07-02 Sabai Saw Shwe, David W.M. Leung
Eucalyptus bosistoana is an important durable hardwood species selected by New Zealand Dryland Forest Initiative (NZDFI) for their adaptability to diverse environments and good quality wood. There is no report on in vitro methods for callus induction and plantlet micropropagation of this species, although these methods could assist further genetic improvement of plants. In this study, different combinations

In vitro propagation of Leptocarpha rivularis , a native medicinal plant In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol.-Plant (IF 1.814) Pub Date : 2020-07-02 Fernando Dorta, Victor Polanco, Ingrid Ramírez, Michael Seeger, Alejandro Madrid, Iván Montenegro
Leptocarpha rivularis, commonly known as “palo negro”, is a species of the Astereaceae family, endemic in the forests of Southern Chile. The extracts of this plant have medicinal properties attributable to its secondary metabolites, mainly identified as flavonoids and terpenes. Among them, leptocarpine has gained importance as a powerful anticarcinogen. The aim of this study was the in vitro establishment

An improved micropropagation protocol for the ex situ conservation of Mitragyna parvifolia (Roxb.) Korth. (Rubiaceae): an endangered tree of pharmaceutical importance. In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol.-Plant (IF 1.814) Pub Date : 2020-06-22 Ashok Kumar Patel,Deepika Lodha,Narpat S Shekhawat
Mitragyna parvifolia (Roxb.) Korth., commonly known as “Kadam,” is an endangered and pharmaceutically valued tree of the family Rubiaceae. The numerous medicinal properties are attributed to the various alkaloids of this plant. Poor seedling survival (due to very small size of seeds, approximately 10,000 per gm), overexploitation and habitat destruction are the major constraints in conserving the wild

In vitro strategies for the conservation of Indian medicinal climbers In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol.-Plant (IF 1.814) Pub Date : 2020-05-29 A. V. Deepa, T. Dennis Thomas
Climbers are plants with weak stems that require support to grow upright. This group of plants develops various climbing mechanisms, classified as tendrillar, twiners, scramblers, clinging, adhesive and woody climbers (lianas). Although climbers are predominantly angiosperms, some are ferns, and one gymnosperm member Gnetum is included in this category. The angiosperm families mainly composed of climbers
