RESEARCH ARTICLES CURRENT SCIENCE, VOL. 84, NO. 6, 25 MARCH 2003 775 *For correspondence. (e-mail: pcbt@cscftri.ren.nic.in) Elicitation of anthocyanin production in callus cultures of Daucus carota and involvement of calcium channel modulators G. Sudha and G. A.
In this thesis a study of the regulation of coordinated growth and the development of polarity during embryogenesis of carrot, Daucus carota L., is described.
Origin of the name (etimology) : Well known by our forefathers who used to give it heating properties : "daucus" comes from daukos, name given by the Greeks to some members of the the Umbelliferae family and it seems to derive from "daîo" : I overheat .
In somatic embryogenesis, we found an initial high potential of em- bryo induction was followed by a low, declining conversion frequency of plantlets. In this process of embryo formation, matu- ration and germination, large-scale abnormalities were noticed.
The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices is haploid and has a small genome size in the lower limit of eukaryotes Mohamed Hijri* and Ian R.
Vernalization is the process whereby flowering is promoted by a cold treatment given to a germinated seed or to a vegetative plant. Which of the following statements is true?
We hypothesized that the daffodil gene encoding phytoene synthase (psy), one of the two genes used to develop Golden Rice, was the limiting step in b-carotene accumulation.
Vegetable, eaten raw or cooked. Rich in carotene which is the precursor of vitamin A. First domesticated in Afganistan. Early varieties had anthocyanin pigments in them giving the carrot a red, purple or black colour. A yellow variety without anthocyanin arose in the 16th century and became popular.
