Seed propagation

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) is a herb species with many benefits for health. Lemon balm is effective in reducing anxiety, stress, improving insomnia, treating viruses and some digestive diseases,... This species can be propagated by sowing seeds or cuttings or dividing branches from the root. In this study, the propagation experiments using seeds and cuttings were conducted to find a suitable propagation method for lemon balm in Vietnam.

Seed propagation of Mycetia balansae Drake is not easy, due to low germination rate and low viability, so it is very rare in nature. In order to conserve this plant as well as to use for commercial purposes in cooperation with Tue Linh Co.Ltd, providing a large number of plants is necessary and in vitro tissue culture technology could be solve this problem. Therefore, the study on "Callus induction and plant regeneration in vitro from leaf explants of mycetia balansae drake" was carried out.

Coffee production relies on plantations with varieties from Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora species. The first, the most representative in terms of coffee consumption, is mostly propagated by seeds, which leads to management problems regarding the plantations maintenance, harvest and processing of grains.

This study aims to assess the effect of three plant growth regulators, naphthyl acetic acid (NAA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and indole-3 butyric acid (IBA), on the root formation of Actinidia latifolia cuttings. At the same time, seed germination and the effect of different soil and coir mixtures on the growth of kiwifruit seedlings were tested in the nursery.

Multiplier onion or Aggregatum onion (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) is one of the important bulbous vegetable cultivated in India. Onion is mainly propagated through bulbs and approximately 1000 kg of bulb is required for planting in one hectare of area. Huge quantities of onion bulbs are wasted for propagation purpose. By switching over from bulb propagation method to seed, there is a saving of seed bulb to a tune of 1000 kg/ha. As Aggregatum onion is being cultivated in 30,000 hectares in Tamil Nadu, a saving of 30,000 tonnes bulbs could be obtained.

Phaius tankervilliae (L’Her.) Blume is one of the most attractive and horticulturally valuable ground orchids of the world. Due to illegal collection for trade and consumption and loss of habitat, the population of this species has decreased rapidly at an alarming rate in natural habitats. In vitro seed germination and seedling development of Phaius tankervilliae technique was successfully established...

Pomegranate can be propagated by seed, air layering, grafting, shoot cuttings and tissue culture. Seed propagation is used to raise the rootstocks that can be utilized for germplasm conservation and rootstocks breeding purpose. Vegetative propagation methods are used to multiply selected genotypes that bring similar character in form of clones having similar characters to mother plant. Vegetative propagation techniques (hard wood cutting, layering) are practices to raise the saplings for commercial production in pomegranate, because it perpetuates all characteristics of each cultivar.

Paphiopedilum orchids, the most popular and rare orchid genera, are used as potted flowers and cut flowers. In nature condition, the orchid population is threatened with extinction due to over-exploitation and altered habitat. Reduction in this orchids via large-scale micropropagation is a better option to reduce the wild harvest, meets the commercial needs as well as conserves this threatened orchid. This orchid can be propagated by germinating seeds under in vitro culture condition; however, they are difficult for micropropagation, especially regenerating plantlets from in vitro culture.

Papaya (Carica papaya. L), gained momentum as a commercially and industrially important fruit crop in India. The demand for the fruits in the market is steadily increasing due to the awareness among public about its health benefits. India, though the world‟s largest producer of papaya, its cultivation is challenged by various factors such as Papaya Ring Spot Virus, Papaya mealy bug, root rot incidence, variations in seed propagation, malformation of fruits and lack of fruit set due to weather fluctuations, poor shelf life of fruits etc.

Being a tropical delicious fruit papaya is favored due to its yellowish orange colored soft sweet ripe pulp as well as green fruit as culinary purpose. The plant is commonly propagated by seeds and the seed germination is greatly affected by seed treatment to overcome barrier of germination from sarcotesta as well as the inhibitors present beneath the seed coat. In the present experiment seeds of Ranchi variety were soaked for 24 hours in the solutions of coconut water @ 50%, tomato juice @ 20%, cow urine @ 20%, GA3 @ 200ppm, NAA @ 200ppm, KNO3 @ 0.

Seeds from yellow passion fruit Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa present dormancy imposed by the seed coat. The present study aimed to evaluate some treatments to overcome this dormancy for better germination. An experiment was conducted during 2015 to study the effect of different pre-sowing treatments on germination, vigour and growth of passion fruit. The study showed significant differences among the treatments. Maximum germination percentage (89.51%) and least mean germination time (11.67 days after sowing) was observed in seeds treated with sulphuric acid for 4 minutes.

Passiflora is a large genus in the family Passifloraceae Juss. ex DC. Many Passiflora species are propagated by seed. However, seeds are often slow to germinate and have low germination rates due to seed dormancy factors. This study was conducted to evaluate four different pre-germination treatments on enhancing germination potential in seven Passiflora spp. Germination was monitored every 3 days for 90 days. Germination started after two weeks and then, a gradual increase was observed in germination in most species.

Conventional propagation of Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum [Lind.]) plant through seeds and suckers is a tedious and very slow process and not practical when carried out commercially on large scale. Hence, biotechnological approach such as micropropagation is considered as a novel method for production of pathogen-free true-to-type plantlets at a faster rate.
