Journal ArticleDOI

Thidiazuron: a potent cytokinin for woody plant tissue culture

TL;DR: Thidizuron (TDZ) is among the most active cytokinin-like substances for woody plant tissue culture and facilitates efficient micropropagation of many recalcitrant woody species.
Book ChapterDOI

Acclimatization of micropropagated plants to the greenhouse and field

TL;DR: Most species grown in vitro require an acclimatization process in order to insure that sufficient numbers of plants survive and grow vigorously when transferred to soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micro- and Cutting Propagation of Silver Maple. I. Results with Adult and Juvenile Propagules

TL;DR: Clonal micropropagation studies with silver maple included experiments with var- ious shoot types, cytokinins, and stock plant maturation levels, which led to successful explant estab- lishment, axillary shoot proliferation, rooting of microshoots, and establishment of plantlets in the greenhouse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant regeneration from leaf explants of Rhododendron ‘P.J.M. Hybrids’

TL;DR: Pre-culture of leaves on a pre-conditioning medium containing 10 μM indolebutyric acid (IBA) and 50 μM isopentenyladenine (2iP) for 2 weeks before transfer to shoot multiplication medium increased explant survival to greater than 90% as compared with 0–50% when a pre -conditioning treatment was not used.
