Alfalfa is a fodder crop that accounts for one of the best sources of protein and is widely cultivated around the world. In vitro regeneration of alfalfa has been studied earlier; however, most of the studies were almost intervened with callus formation. In this study, 3 explant sources (cotyledonary node, hypocotyl, and root crown) of two Turkish cultivars (Nimet and Savaş) were excised from young seedlings. Explants were subjected to different concentrations of BAP, BAP-IBA, and TDZ to evaluate the direct in vitro regeneration potential of selected plant parts. Moreover, we transformed the alfalfa plant with pBin19 harboring 35s.GUS-INT_35s.nptII construct …

This study was carried out in 2015 and 2016 to investigate the use of ethephon and mepiquat chloride for reduction of damage to flowering and fruit set caused by late spring frosts in Black Diamond plum. The single treatment of mepiquat chloride delayed full blooming by 5 days, while the ethephon treatment delayed blooming by 7 days. The interactive effect of the chemicals yielded more positive results in the delay of blooming, causing a delay of up to 11 days. An increase in fruit set was observed along with blooming. The fruit set percentage of the control was 4.18%, while …

Development Of An In Vitro Micropropagation Protocol For Myrobalan 29c Rootstock, Murat Güney

Stone fruits are well known for their high nutritional value. Therefore, in horticulture, the micropropagation of suitable rootstocks is vital for their cultivation. The aim of the present study was to improve the micropropagation protocol of Myrobalan 29C (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) rootstock using shoot-tip culture. Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium containing 2 mg L-1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.05 mg L-1 gibberellic acid (GA3) resulted in the highest number (14.3) of multiple shoots. However, a greater shoot length (2.0 cm) was attained when GA3 was excluded from the MS medium and the concentration of BAP was reduced to 1 mg …
