In vitro propagation, genetic evaluation and slow-growth storage of the endemic and endangered species Amygdalus ledebouriana

Biotechnology-based conservation of the endemic and endangered Amygdalus ledebouriana, listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan and IUCN Red List, can support biodiversity conservation and sustainable ecosystem management. This poorly studied species grows in eastern Kazakhstan in the foothills of the southwestern Altai, T...

Comparative Effects of Cytokinins and Spermidine on In Vitro Organogenesis of Ruscus hypoglossum L. and Rooting of Regenerated Shoots

Ruscus hypoglossum L. is an evergreen ornamental species valued as cut foliage, but its commercial production is constrained by slow vegetative propagation and limited availability of uniform planting material. This study aimed to develop an efficient in vitro propagation protocol for R. hypoglossum by evaluating the e...
