Vanilla protoplasts: isolation and electrofusion
(2015)
The vanilla plant is an orchid mainly commercialized for the production of vanillin. This compound is considered the second largest natural flavoring source in the world. In recent years, ...
Identification of Phenolic and Carotenoid Compounds in Coffee (Coffea Arabica) Pulp, Peels and Mucilage by HPLC Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
(2013)
Coffee pulp, peels, and mucilage are by-products accruing from wet coffee processing. Like coffee seeds, the se fruit tissues contain substantial amounts of polyphenols and other bioactives. In the present study, polyphenols ...
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth)
(2013)
Peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is a member of the family Arecaceae and is the only palm species with fully domesticated populations in the Neotropics. It is a multi-purpose but underutilized species. Today, fruit ...
Deposition Form and Bioaccessibility of Keto-carotenoids from Mamey Sapote (Pouteria sapota), Red Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum), and Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) Filet
(2016-02-18)
The ultrastructure and carotenoid-bearing structures of mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota) chromoplasts were
elucidated using light and transmission electron microscopy and compared to carotenoid deposition forms in red bell ...
Hormonal status of maize initial explants and of the embryogenic and non-embryogenic callus cultures derived from them as related to morphogenesis in vitro
(2001)
Endogenous hormone levels (indole-3-acetic acid [IAA], abscisic acid [ABA], gibberellins 1, 3 and 20 [GAs], zeatin/zeatin riboside [Z/ZR] and N6[Δ2-isopentenyl] adenine/N6[Δ2-isopentenyl] adenosine; [iP/iPA]) were analysed ...
Vitamin E profiles in Acrocomia aculeata from three regions in Costa Rica
(2021)
Acrocomia aculeata is a promising crop for agroforestry systems in subtropical regions and investigated as an alternative to oil palm. Since significant regional differences in morphology and chemical composition have been ...
Somatic Embryogenesis in Peach-Palm (Bactris gasipaes) Using Different Explant Sources
(2016)
Peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is a member of the family Arecaceae and is a multipurpose but underutilized species. Nowadays, fruit production for subsistence and local markets, and heart-of-palm production for local, ...
Improved high-efficiency protocol for somatic embryogenesis in Peach Palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) using RITA® temporary immersion system
(2014-11)
Bactris gasipaes Kunth (Arecaceae) is an Amazonian palm cultivated mainly for the production of fruits and heart of palm. Biotechnological tools based on somatic embryogenesis (SE) can be used for improvement and germplasm ...
Mode of action of plant hormones and plant growth regulators during induction of somatic embryogenesis: molecular aspects
(2005-11)
Plant hormones play critical roles in the establishment of somatic embryogenesis. During this process, somatic plant cells reverse their state of differentiation, acquire pluripotentiality and set up a new developmental ...
Effect of macronutrients and sucrose concentration on in vitro growth of Drosera capensis L. (Droseraceae) plants, and evaluation of six substrates for acclimatization
(2011-01)
The effect of two concentrations of the Murashige and Skoog macronutrients (full and half strength), in combination with three concentrations of sucrose (1.5, 3.0 and 4.5% w/v), was evaluated on the in vitro growth of ...
