Multiplication of node explants was achieved on BAP while from other combinations of growth hormone,. The response of various growth regulators was investigated. The combination of showed the highest rate of shoot induction (100%) and a shoot regenerated about 6 shoots per explants when cultured on MS media supplemented with BAP (4 µM) within 2 weeks. The multiple elongated shoots were obtained on MS basal medium combination of Activated charcoal and growth hormones. Well-developed roots were achieved on MS medium in combination with BAP and IAA as well as 80% of plantlets were survived in the soil successfully in the hardening process.

Numerous plant species' physiology, behaviour, and eventual survival have all been greatly influenced by sound and its usage in communication. A better framework for future research may be developed along with a greater understanding of how various organisms interact acoustically with plants if the acoustic link between plants and animals is understood. A re-imagination of our knowledge of these organisms is anticipated to result from the systematic investigation of the functional and evolutionary importance of sound in plant life. This will also stimulate the emergence of new ideas and viewpoints regarding the communicative complexity of plants. The primary goal of this study is to examine some information about the bioacoustics interaction between plants and animals their sound, and ecology, including potential techniques of sound production employed by plants. \u0000The importance of acoustical research in plant ecology, as well as its potential mechanisms and future applications, are covered in this paper. The first section of this article reviews how plants amplify and transmit sounds produced by insect pests. The second section looks at surprising examples of carnivorous plants that show how plants have evolved to reflect but also enhance animal sounds, potentially revealing new angles in research on the interactions between animals and plants. The discussion then focuses on the mechanisms by which plants produce sound through transpiration stress and photosynthesis, as well as a potential model for these mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":166948,"journal":{"name":"Plantae Scientia","volume":"9 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139607220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and other Mediterranean nations cultivated olives for its edible fruits and to obtain oil from them. Leaves of the tree became important when olive leaf extract was reported to be potent in reducing incidence of degenerative diseases, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD) and cancers of the breast, skin, and colon. Olive leaves have the highest antioxidant power among the different parts of the olive tree. While in olive fruit, phenols (e.g. TYR) and terpenoid hydrocarbon (squalene) are the major components found in the oil. Much research has been carried out on the medical applications of olive. The choice of the plant was based on the good previous biological study of Olea europaea.
