Jasione L. Taxonomy And Phylogeny, Fatima Sales, Ian C. Hedge, William Eddie, Jill Preston, Michael Moeller Jan 2004

Jasione L. Taxonomy And Phylogeny, Fatima Sales, Ian C. Hedge, William Eddie, Jill Preston, Michael Moeller

Turkish Journal of Botany

Jasione L., a genus with small flowers in compact ebracteolate heads subtended by involucral bracts, is very isolated in the Campanulaceae. It is mainly a Mediterranean-European genus with c. 15, mostly polymorphic, species, which show evidence of recent speciation, possibly as recent as the last glaciation. In the west of its distributional range, where the greatest morphological variation occurs, there has been much recent investigation on morphology, anatomy, phenetics, molecular evidence and nomenclature. This research has provided considerable evidence for a reduction in the number of taxa that should be recognised. On-going research is focused on more detailed molecular studies …

Effect Of Thidiazuron On Shoot Regeneration From Different Explants Of Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik.) Via Organogenesis, Khalid Mahmood Khawar, Cengi̇z Sancak, Serkan Uranbey, Sebahatti̇n Özcan

Turkish Journal of Botany

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is among the most active cytokinin like substances and induces greater in vitro shoot proliferation than many other cytokinins in many plant species. Leaf, stem, stem node and cotyledonary node explants of 2 extensively cultivated Turkish lentil cultivars, Ali Dayı and Kayı 91, were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with various concentrations of TDZ. The present study was conducted to develop a rapid and efficient shoot regeneration system suitable for the transformation of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) using TDZ. Cotyledonary nodes and stem nodes after the initial callus stage regenerated prolific adventitious shoots via organogenesis. …
