In order to ascertain the optimal hormone combination for Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) leaf cuttings, an L16(4)4 orthogonal test of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (0, 10, 30, or 50 mg · L−1 of each exo...
ROOT DEVELOPMENT During embryogenesis, plant meris- tems are established and provide most of the post-embryonic cells that constitute the organs of plants throughout their life cycle. There are two main meristems: an aerial meris- tem at the growing tip of the shoot (shoot apical meristem; ...
We prepared samples of whole intact plants in the “open system” developed for long-term live-cell imaging ofA. thalianaseedlings (Ovečka et al., 2015). Plants growing in the Phytagel-solidified culture medium were transferred to the microscope in fluorinated ethylene propylene tubes (FEP tube...
Homeostasis of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur in growing plants requires a sustained intake of these elements into root cells. Under most situations, the adjustment of root N, P or S acquisition to the nutrient demand of the plant is hampered by the limiting and fluctuating availability of ...
Thus, the ability to produce strong ISR elicitors at effective concentrations for host plants represents a prime target for engineering. A growing list of ISR elicitors, such as DAPG, 2,3-butanediol, and acetoin, have already enabled researchers to successfully engineer rhizobacteria with altered ...
Auxin is a plant hormone that promotes root growth and development, and its levels are regulated by various environmental and internal factors. Root shoots contribute to the growth and survival of plants in several ways. First, root shoots provide plants with additional nutrient and water absorption...
, a super-growing root (super root) culture has been recently introduced. This system is unique because it allows continuous root cloning, somatic embryogenesis and mass regeneration of plants under entirely hormone-free culture conditions. Here we report the isolation and culture of protoplasts from...
Dip the cutting in a rooting hormone, put it in a glass jar filled with fresh water, and place it on a sunny windowsill. You can also propagate cuttings in a potting mix or soil. Growing herbs hydroponically is quite popular and easy as well. We have a great article on ithere. ...
(As discussed earlier, nonvascular land plants generally have rhizoids that assume a similar function.) Roots, like shoots, develop by the formation of new cells within the actively growing apical meristem of the root tip. The apical meristem is covered on the outside by a rootcap, ...
2.4. Root Architecture and Hormone Regulation Phytohormones, which are trace amounts of active substances produced in plants, are transferred from biosynthesis sites to active sites. Phytohormones independently regulate seed germination, growth and development, embryonic development, root system architecture,...
