Plant Regeneration From Unfertilized Ovaries Of Sugar Beet ( Beta Vulgaris L.)Cultured In Vitro, Ekrem Gürel, Songül Gürel Jan 1998

Plant Regeneration From Unfertilized Ovaries Of Sugar Beet ( Beta Vulgaris L.)Cultured In Vitro, Ekrem Gürel, Songül Gürel

Turkish Journal of Botany

A. method is described for plant regeneration from unfertilized ovaries isolated from a diploid male sterile sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) breeding line that was developed at the Sugar Institute, Ankara, Turkey. Ovary explants were cultured on Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium containing 2.0 mg/l benzylaminopurine (BAP). Two treatments were tested by incubating all of the explants in darkness for 15 days, and then transferring one half to light and keeping the other half in darkness throughout the culture. Callus formation occurred in both treatments more or less at similar rates: however, there was a significant difference between the …


The Effects Of Different Sucrose, Agar And Ph Levels On In Vitro Shoot Production Of Almond ( Amygdalus Communis L.), Songül Gürel, Yücel Gülşen Jan 1998

The Effects Of Different Sucrose, Agar And Ph Levels On In Vitro Shoot Production Of Almond ( Amygdalus Communis L.), Songül Gürel, Yücel Gülşen

Turkish Journal of Botany

In this study the possibilities of in vitro vegatitve propagation of almond ( Amygdalus communis L.) cv. Texas and cv. Nonpareil by shoot-tip culture were investigated. Different levels of sucrose, agar and pH were tested and shoot proliferation, shoot development and growth were observed during three successive stages, namely initiation, transplantation and multiplication. During the initiation stage, proliferation was achieved only with 5 and 6% sucrose and the best explant development occured with 0.5% agar and pH 5.5. During the second stage, again 5 and 6% sucrose and pH 5.5 gave the best results with respect to shoot production and …


The Effects Of Iba And Bap On In Vitro Shoot Production Of Almond(Amygdalus Communis L.), Songül Gürel, Yücel Gülşen Jan 1998

The Effects Of Iba And Bap On In Vitro Shoot Production Of Almond(Amygdalus Communis L.), Songül Gürel, Yücel Gülşen

Turkish Journal of Botany

In this study the possibilities of in vitro vegatitive propagation of almond ( Amygdalus communis L.) cv. Texas and cv. Nonpareil by shoot-tip culture were investigated. Different levels of IBA (0.0, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/l) and BAP (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg/l) were tested by observing shoot development and growth during three successive stages, namely initiation, transplantation and multiplication. During the initiation stage, hormone-free medium or medium with low IBA (0.1 mg/l) only seemed favourable for shoot growth. During both the transplantation and multiplication stages, the combination of 0.1 mg/l IBA and 1.0 mg/l BAP was found to …


Development Of An Efficient Plant Regeneration System In Sunflower(Helianthus Annuus L.), Ekrem Gürel, Kemal Kazan Jan 1998

Development Of An Efficient Plant Regeneration System In Sunflower(Helianthus Annuus L.), Ekrem Gürel, Kemal Kazan

Turkish Journal of Botany

With the aim of developing an efficient plant regeneration system from cells or tissues of sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.), we compared several regeneration protocols using different explant types and hormonal combinations. Somatic embryogenesis could be induced on cotyledon explants, especially from the basal (proximal) portion of the cotyledons, but genotypic vairation appeared to be the most critical factor for both somatic embryo and root production. Such a variation was more prominent when 10 different sunflower cultivars were compared for shoot production from shoot-tip explants. Further refinement of the culture conditions may be neceassary to improve the efficiency of somatic …
