... and single discs were placed in 20 x 150 mm disposable test tubes on a Schenk and Hildebrandt (2) salt medium con­ taining 30 g sucrose and 6 g/liter agar. Table 1). The high kinetin/NAA ratio consis­ tently promoted shoot initiation whereas increasing the level of NAA led to excessive callus development, root formation, and media discoloration (Fig. 1). NAA at 0.5 mg/liter only pro­ moted shoot initiation at the highest kinetin level (10.0 mg/liter). NAA at 5.0 mg/liter caused production of dark brown or black callus and roots regard­ less of the kinetin level and shoots rarely ...

... wettable powder) for 15 min, 0.26% sodium hypochlorite for 10 min, and 3 changes of sterile distilled water for 5 min each. Each solution was stirred constantly to facilitate surface contact. The shoot tips were held in sterile distilled water for up to 30 min until they were cut under water to 1 to 2 cm in length and then placed into culture (Fig. 1A and ...

... shoot proliferation. Trifoliate leaves formed during culture establish­ ment (Fig. 1C). After cultures were transferred to the agar medium, many of these leaves died. However, lateral buds grew, callus formed around the stem, and shoots grew out from the callus. Dense masses of 20 to 40 shoots formed within 4 weeks (Fig. ID). Since many lateral buds on these shoots developed, each shoot could be divided at least twice. ...

Antitranspirants (Exhalt 4-10, Vapor Gard, Wilt Pruf, and Folicote) were more phyto-toxic when applied to detached florets than to detached leaves of hydrangea (Hydrangea macro-phylla Thunb. cv. Improved Merveille). Transpiration was high from hydrangea flowers as well as leaves. Folicote applied to intact flowering plants at concentrations of 1.25–5.00% was effective in reducing transpiration 10–15% compared to untreated plants.

In recent years, propagation of numerous ornamental plants by tissue culture has become accepted commercial practice. Great progress has been made since Haberlandt (29) described the basic principles of plant tissue culture, followed by successful culture of plant callus by Nobecourt and Gautheret in France and by White in the U.S. (79). The rapid strides achieved in the field of micropropagation of ornamental plants have been made possible by the research accomplishments of myriad dedicated scientists. It is impossible to list all of these accomplishments in a brief overview, but some of the more significant contributions will be included in the following categories of ornamentals: orchids, ferns, foliage plants, bulbous species, herbaceous ornamentals, and trees and shrubs.

The word: “computing”, which is traditionally understood as calculation, has been broadened to include “… automatic data processing, batch processing, data capture, data processing, data retrieval, electronic data processing, number crunching (colloq.), system analysis, system engineering.” (Anonymous 1986). All these activities are connected with the collecting, processing, and storing of information concerning systems.
