16 ReferencesEffect of light intensity and soil media on establishment and growth of Curculigo latifolia Dryand
Abstract
The growth rate and survival percentage of Curculigo latifolia Dryand under different light intensity and various soil media were studied to work out suitable growing conditions for the species. The three light intensity (25, 50 and 100%) and soil media consists of topsoil, organic manure and sand as 1:1:1, 2:3:1 and 3:2:1 were used for planting in Dryand (lemba). The survival rates in all treatments were 100%, however the leaf growth and number was influenced by the treatments. There are no significant differences
of leaf growth between T1 (1:1:1) and T3 (3:2:1) under 50% light and T2 (2:3:1) in Block1 (control). However, the T2 (2:3:1) under
25% light as the high level of leaf numbers and T1 (1:1:1) under 50% light as the highest plant growth during the period of this study
were observed. The species was successfully regenerated by rhizomes for the present study. The study revealed that light intensity has significant effect on plant height and leaf number and soil media influenced the height and leaf number with different effect under
different light intensities.

- ... During these years, in vitro technique is being widely applied to produce identical quality and disease-free plants [16]. There is no evidence on propagation of C. latifolia from seeds, but we reported that it is being propagated through rhizome [3]. However, due to high medicinal, industrial, and unique value of its compounds and low productivity and failed attempts for plantation of this species by conventional methods in nurseries, propagation of this plant by in vitro or tissue culture technique is mandatory. ...

- ... However, the standardization of optimum environmental parameters like light intensity, soil media, and also other abiotic stresses are essential for highest yield production with high quality of plants in the field (Farzinebrahimi et al., 2013). The soil quality control such as aggregate stability, mineral contains, pH and salinity were played an important role in determining the growth development of plants (Jayasinge, 2012;Farzinebrahimi et al., 2013;Liu et al., 2014). Liu et al. (2014have reported the influence of different substitute media on morphology and physiology changes on the ornamental plant, Cyclamen persicum Mill. ...
Article
Leaf, seed, and tuber explants of C. latifolia were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP and IBA, alone or in combinations, to achieve in vitro plant regeneration. Subsequently, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were determined from in vitro and in vivo plant developed. No response was observed from seed culture on MS media with various concentrations...

In the present study, regeneration of J. sambac var. Maid of Orleans through direct and indirect organogenesis has been investigated. In direct organogenesis, shoot development from young stems (each contained one nodal part) cultured in MS media supplemented with a combination of BAP (3.0 mg L -1) and NAA (1 mg L -1) showed 20% shoot regeneration. For indirect organogenesis, among different... [Show full abstract]

The vegetative parts (leaves and stems) of Orthosiphon stamineus were exposed to gamma radiation with 3, 6, 9 and 12 minutes exposure period by using gamma cell 220 Co-60 machines at 0.08344 Gy dosages for investigation effect of gamma ray on this plant. After 7 weeks of gamma ray radiation and planting, plant survival percentages, height of plants, number of leaves, leaves morphology;... [Show full abstract]
Article
The chronology of flower anthesis in Curculigo latifolia Dryand was studied. This was to described the flowering timeline and to observed flower visitors. Observation on adult plants were carried out from 0500 until 2000 hours and repeated twice. The most common visitors were black ants found nesting between the leaf and bees. Visitation by bees mainly occurred in the morning between 0930 and... [Show full abstract]
