TL;DR: A protocol was developed for in vitro propagation of turmeric cv `elite' using young vegetative buds from sprouting rhizomes and micropropagated plants showed a significant increase in shoot length, number of tillers, number and length of leaves,number of fingers and total fresh rhizome weight per plant when compared with conventionally propagated plants.

TL;DR: The result indicates that variation at DNA level has occurred during in vitro culture and green shoot primordia were seen to differentiate from the surface of the callus.

TL;DR: Cefotaxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, and different ethylene inhibitors, such as silver nitrate, cobalt chloride, nickel chloride and O-acetyl salicylic acid, significantly delayed the loss of regeneration potential in embryogenic cultures of Pennisetum americanum.

TL;DR: Thidiazuron either alone or in combination with IAA induced high frequency shoot regeneration from primary leaf segments of three pigeonpea cultivars and Histological studies confirmed the mode of regeneration as shoot organogenesis.

TL;DR: Cytological analysis of regenerated plants showed normal diploid chromosome number in their root tips, and incorporation of different antibiotics such as carbenicillin, cefotaxime and streptomycin sulfate enhanced plant differentiation from somatic embryos.
