Insights Into Oil Palm Yield Under Seasonal Rainfall Open
Young oil palms produce many small fruit bunches. With age, bunch number (BN) declines but single bunch weight (BW) increases, more than the BN decline, raising its yield (FFB, or BN*BW). In a long-term trial in seasonal Southern Thailand,…

Optimization of transient GUS expression of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Dierama erectum Hilliard using sonication and Agrobacterium Open
Efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was established via sonication of embryonic shoot apical meristems (ESAMs) of Dierama erectum Hilliard. Effects of explant types, co-cultivation time, acetosyringone concentration, Agrobacter…

Ultrastructure of somatic embryo development and plant propagation for Lachenalia montana Open
Embryogenesis for plant propagation by cell suspension culture was achieved for the first time using friable embryogenic callus (FEC) from leaf explants of Lachenalia montana Schltr. ex W.F. Barker. FEC was established with solid (8 g L− 1…
