The seed endophytic microbiota of Citrus limon L. Burm. F
Background Plant seeds possess a complex microbiota which may play a crucial rolein a plethora of mechanisms, such as preservation, germination, seedling development, plant growth and health. In particular, seed endophytic microbiota is gaining more and more consideration due to the fact that it may be vertically transmitted to ensure individual competitive advantages. The Citrusspecies, including C.limon,areone of the most economically important evergreen fruit crops in the world. Objectives i)Identification and characterization ofmicrobial isolates from Citrus limon L. Burm. F. seed endosphere. ii) Structure of Citrus limon L. Burm. F. seed endosphytic microbiota. Methods -Surface-sterili…
Micropropagation and in vitro culture of Pyrethrum [Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium (Trev.) Vis.]
Pyrethrum (Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium (Trev.) Vis. = Tanacetum cineariaefolium (Trev.) Schultz-Bip.) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Albania and the area of former Yugoslavia. It is the only species in the genus Tanacetum having an agronomic importance, although the genus consists of several species producing similar types of bioactive metabolites. The species is grown in order to obtain the insecticidal compounds collectively termed pyrethrins, which are found primarily in the flower heads. In this work we discuss the results found from a worldwide literature review about the micropropagation techniques followed on Pyrethrum, the in vitro cu…
