STUDIES ON DIRECT CAULOGENESIS CULTURE OF MORINGA OLEIFERA, AN EXOTIC MULTIPURPOSE TREE SPECIES FOR ROMANIA
Journal Title: Current Trends in Natural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
In Romania, M. oleifera Lam. species caught the attention of growers and consumers only with five years ago. Because planting material for commercial cultivation is now very low accesible, as for the culture establishment, like many other species of cultivated plants M.oleifera Lam., tehniques "in vitro" culture applications have the outstanding contributions to overcoming of the limits facing culture technology of this species. First, the attention is given to rapid multiplication of biological material genetically pure and at the same time is free from diseases and pests. The method of micropropagation by axillary branching method using apical buds as explants and nodal explants from seedlings was initiated in this study. Cultures were initiated by multiple shoots on MS medium containing variable concentrations of BA 1.0-2.5 mg/l and IBA 0.2 mg/l. Maximum shoot proliferation was achieved on medium containing BA more than 2.0 mg /l and 0.2 mg/l IBA within 3 subcultures. The proliferation of shoots was improved in the medium of the same composition after the addition of citric acid as an antioxidant in reducing the emission of polyphenols. A maximum rate of 5 copies of shoots was performed on the addition of citric acid (10 mg/l) in the environment. Leaves were excised from the M.oleifera Lam. plants propagated through "in vitro", for callus induction.

USEFULNESS OF THE GRAPEVINE VIRUS-INFECTED COLLECTION
In order to use the virus-infected material as reference in various studies, a grapevine virus collection was established at NRDIBH Ştefănşti-Argeş. The vines are infected with 1-3 of the main specific viruses of this c...
NEW THERAPEUTIC FORMULATIONS WITH AN ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECT, BASED ON PLANT EXTRACTS
The antibacterial effects produced by anthocyanins and other bioactive plant compounds are weaker than those generated by antibiotics. In some cases, the combination of extract-antibiotic can cause synergistic effects,...

EFFECT OF PLANTING POSITION ON THE VINEYARD SLOPE ON GROWTH, PRUNING WEIGHT, AND COLD HARDINESS OF GRAPEVINE CANE
Grapevine is a perennial crop whose growth and productivity can be affected by many pedoclimatic and agrotechnological factors. Currently, land terracing is a common field organization for new vineyard plantations, red...
BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC FACTORS INFLUENCE DURING THE IN VITRO MULTIPLICATION PHASE OF SOME SPECIES AND VARIETIES OF THE ACER GENUS
The purpose of the research was to study the behavior of several Acer varieties: Acer palmatum 'Dissectum Atropurpureum' and Acer platanoides 'Crimson King', 'Drummondii' and 'Globosum', during the first subculture of t...
