muscari armeniacum/polysaccharide

OBJECTIVE To study the induction rate of callus tissue in four different explants of stem, root, leaf and fruit of Liriope muscari. METHODS The effect of 2,4-D, sugar and illumination on callus succeeding preservation was analyzed. The dynamic accumlation of polysaccharide in callus was described.

Hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis) bulbs infected by Fusarium oxysporum showed the symptoms of gummosis. The purpose of this study was to clarify the hormonal regulation of gummosis and composition of gums from hyacinth bulbs. The application of ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid), an

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hormonal regulation of gummosis in grape hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum) bulbs, focusing especially on the chemical composition of the gums. The application of ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid), an ethylene-releasing compound, at 1% and 2% (w/w)
