The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 100 ppm with or without biostimulants (Agrobacterium rhizogenes, seaweed extract and coconut water) as either a spray drench for 3 minutes 1 hour on rooting growth parameters three cutting types (tip, middle basal) Conocarpus erectus L. data showed that percentage, root vegetative characteristics rooted cuttings were significantly increased by all treatments IBA and/or compared untreated cuttings....
Among the plants which are determined to be a promising source of anticarcenogenic agents members Agavaceae family common in tropical and subtropical regions such as Egypt. In this study, cytotoxic activity were assessed for methanolic extracts fractions from five family: Sansevieria cylindrica Bojer., Polianthes tuberosa L., trifasciata Prain., Yucca filamentosa L. Furcraea watsoniana Hort. against MCF-7 (breast), HepG-2 (hepatoma), Caco-2 (colon) cancer cell lines by MTT method. The...
The effect of chitosan and D,L β aminobutyric acid (BABA) at rates 10, 20 40 ppm on the flowering, chemical characteristics German chamomile (Matricaria recutita L. cv. Bode-gold) was studied. Chitosan treatments with different concentrations significantly increased flower number per plant, head fresh weight, dry yield flowers fed in comparison all other including control (untreated plants). Plants treated BABA had bigger diameter compared to control. highest concentration (40 ppm) gave...
Foliar application effects of salicylic acid (SA) and gibberellic (GA 3 ) were investigated on growth flowering Ixora coccinea L. plants.Four concentrations (100, 200, 300 400 ppm) both SA GA sprayed in addition to the control (water-sprayed plants).Results indicated that all characteristics plants increased by or compared untreated plants.Concerning acid, lowest concentration (100 produced highest while 200 ppm leaf area shoot/root ratio.Number leaves plant pigments (chlorophyll a, b, a+b...
Stem bark aqueous extracts of eight woody plants Brachychiton populneus, Ceiba pentandra, Bombax malabaricum, Chorisia speciosa, Albizia lebbeck, Bauhinia variegata, Kigelia africana and Pinus halepensis were tested for their mutagenic antimutagenic potential in the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 TA100. The neither toxic nor S. tester strains. All showed detectable effect towards direct acting mutagens 2-nitrofluorene (2-NF) as well sodium azide extract from was most...
To address the growing demand for natural sources of drugs, in addition to chemical ones, present study aimed explore phytochemical and biological activity acetone stem bark extract Albizia lebbeck. The phytoconstituents derivatized were analyzed using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), while phenolic flavonoid compounds High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Six bacterial strains (Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter johnsonii, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Bacillus subtilis,...
pH at 5.5 supplemented with 50 g/l sucrose produced the highest significant value of rooting (85%) and enhanced root formation in 7.5 days. The rooted plantlets were transplanted into potting substrate successfully acclimatized laboratory then transferred to field a survival rate 55%. After 6 month, reached ~ 22 cm length 5.50 leaves/plant
To improve the salt tolerance of Genovese cultivar sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) plants, an experiment was conducted to evaluate impact certain growth substances (salicylic acid, seaweed extract, dry yeast and moringa leaf extract) on growth, volatile oil percentage yield as well chemical constituents under saline water irrigation stress conditions (control, 1000, 2000 4000 ppm NaCl).The obtained results revealed that higher salinity levels (2000 NaCl) caused significant decreases in...
A field trial was conducted to assess the impact of organic manures (cattle and chicken manure) at rates 2, 4 kg/plot (2m2) seaweed extract concentrations (0, 3 ml/l) on growth, yield volatile oil constituents fennel plants (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) during two successive seasons 2020/2021 2021/2022. The manure treatment achieved best results regarding all F. vegetative growth (except plant height), Fruit productivity its oil. Foliar application in high concentration (4 cleared significant...
Recently, freshly aromatic herbs have a wide demand worldwide, and therefore preserving their shelf life has become an urgent matter. There are no research attempts on quality augmenting of coriander using chitosan (CS) or nano-chitosan (CSNPs) therefore; impacts keeping the herb were examined. CS CSNPs extended reduced weight loss compared to control more so with since it resulted in 2.3-fold longer than uncoated herb. The imperfection volatile oil, pigments, protein contents detected was...
Gamma-and laser-irradiated seeds were grown under drought stress conditions to evaluate the irradiation effects on growth, flowering and some physiological traits of Salvia coccinea plants in pots.Pre-sowing gammairradiation at 5, 10, 15, 20 25 k.rad or laser (He-Ne) for 15 min.exposure time applied.Soil moisture levels imposed by irrigating with 100 (control), 80, 60 40% field capacity (F.C.).Results indicated that laser-irradiation was less effective than gamma-irradiation stress.Plants...
Many medicinal plants are used around the world to create new products.The effectiveness of these products is associated with a complex synergistic interaction various plant components.In this study, we investigated extract cytotoxicity following five species belonging
A field experiment was conducted during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons to investigate the impact of different concentrations foliar application glycine (200 400 ppm) and/or Zn (100 200 in addition control, planting lines (wide narrow lines) on growth, yield, chemical content as well volatile oil its active components cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.).The recorded data showed that wide (terrace) significantly increased vegetative (plant height, branch number/plant fresh & dry weights herb), yield...
A field experiment was conducted for two successive years to investigate the conventional propagation of Rosa hybrida cv.Eiffel Tower using stem cuttings as affected by growing season year, cutting type and application indol-3-butyric acid(IBA) at different concentrations. Uniform types ~ 15-20 cm long (apical, median basal) were collected from current year growth healthy mother plants. Then bases (2-3 cm) soaked 20 minutes in concentrations IBA (0, 500, 1000 1500 ppm) lower end stuck into...
Genetic diversity among in vitro plant regeneration cumin has been examined by molecular markers analysis (ISSR and SRAP markers).Two landraces of named Egyptian (EGY genotype) Indian (IND were used as donor parents, three types explants (hypocotyl, cotyledon root) four MS tissue culture media with different concentrations growth regulators (auxin cytokinin) to study the impact genotype, type on callus formation cumin.Significant differences two observed for rate number shoots per...
