Incorporation of Organic Growth Additives to Enhance In Vitro Tissue Culture for Producing Genetically Stable Plants
The growing demand for native planting material in ecological restoration and rehabilitation
for agro-silvo-pastoral ecosystems has resulted in a major global industry in their sourcing,
multiplication, and sale. Plant ...
Antifungal activity of essential oil from Tunisian myrtle (Myrtus communis L.)
The objective of this study was to investigate the antifungal essential oil activity. The InVitro antifungal activity of myrtle essential oil against seven fungi allowed us to specify the corresponding minimum inhibition ...
Impacts of bracteole removal and seeding rate on seedling emergence of halophyte shrubs: implications for rangeland rehabilitation in arid environments
Direct seeding techniques often result in unsatisfactory outcomes in rangeland rehabilitation, primarily because of low seedling emergence and poor establishment. Seed processing techniques aimed at improving seedling ...
Rosemary essential oil enhances culture establishment and inhibits contamination and enzymatic browning: Applications for in vitro propagation of Aloe vera L.
Aloe vera L. is used largely in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agro-food industries. The in vitro technique was proposed as an alternative method for large-scale propagation and/or conservation breeding programmes in ...
Economic valuation of cactus pear production in semi-arid regions of Tunisia
Arid and semi-arid lands are considered unsuitable for crop production because they require substantial amounts of water and additional nutrients. However, certain species can perform well and enhance the livelihoods of ...
Assessment of soil surface scarification and reseeding with sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) of degraded Mediterranean semi-arid rangelands
Climate change and degradation of natural resources pose daunting challenges in arid and semi-arid rangelands of southern Mediterranean region. Overcoming these challenges requires considerable management actions efforts. ...
Aloe vera L. (Asphodelaceae): Supplementation of in-vitro culture medium with Aloe vera gel for production of genetically stable plants
As in vitro culture environments can be mutagenic, it's challenging to produce true-to-true type plants from meristems. Therefore, the present study aimed to devlop an efficient protocol for micropropagation from shoot tip ...
Sea remoteness effect on chemical composition of leaf essential oils of Pistacia lentiscus L. from wild populations in northern Tunisia
The leaf essential oil obtained from five populations of Pistacia lentiscus L., growing wild in northern Tunisia, was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Twenty-one components of the essential oil have been ...
Farmers’ adoption of sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) cultivation as an alternative livestock feed
The objective of this study was to investigate farmers' adoption of sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) cultivation in northern Tunisia. Sulla adoption at farmer level and farmers‟ perception about the role of sulla were ...
