D. Sosn.] has great importance in rapid proliferation of species with medicinal features and in culture of healthy plants free from deseases. After a succesfully pre-sterilization procedure, experiments were maintained by two-phase: multiplication phase and rooting of microshoots phase. Micropropagation of Rose was improved, using its nodal segments under different combination of BAP (0, 1.0, 2.0, 0.6 mg/l), NAA (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.01 mg/l) on Driver and Kuniyuki (DKW) and MS medium in multiplication phase and using distinct compositions of IBA (0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 mg/l) and DKW medium in rooting phase. The maximum number of shoots/per plant (22.6) with the highest number of leaves (222.6) were obtained in DKW medium supplemented with 0.6 mgl-1 BAP and 0.01 mg/l NAA. The leaf explants were also used to occur callus in MS with different combinations of BAP and NAA. Good callus formation was obtained with 1:2 ratio of BAP:NAA combination in MS medium. Furthermore, the highest root induction (100%) was achieved in DKW medium consisting of 1 mg/l IBA. The rooted plantlets were transferred to the field after acclimatized in greenfield conditions.

Under in vitro conditions, bacterial proliferation and EPS production were examined on yeast peptone agar medium containing sucrose or trehalose with or without antibiotics. Number of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris on yeast peptone agar medium with Validamycin-A was less as compared to control. Extracellular polysaccharide secretion (EPS) was also inhibited on yeast peptone agar medium with antibiotic Validamycin-A.

Gene and environment interaction takes place when different environments affect the genotypes and vice versa.

Three seeding-time environments, viz., early, late, and very late of eleven mustard genotypes were laid out with three replications in a randomized complete block design. Among the three environments, which one was favorable and which was not was determined by their significant differences through a combined analysis of variance. The IPCA 1 (first interaction principal component axis) score of genotypes in the AMMI (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction analysis) of G×E interactions was estimated as an indication of the ability to respond to the environments and the performance with changing environments of the genotypes. Considering all the scores, Sonali Sharisha (SS-75), and BINA Sharisha-10 were found to be highly stable genotypes, while among the three environments, the environment-1 (early sowing) was found the best sowing time for raising and harvesting a good mustard crop.

In this experiment, seed germination was carried out using two growth media: Murashige and Skoog basal medium (MS); and Whatman Grad 1 filter paper (FP), using the top of media or top of the paper method under three different photoperiods. Seeds were pre-treated for different lengths of time with various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (v/v) multiple hot water treatments. Results showed that seeds pre-treated with H2O2 (6% v/v) for 5 minutes and primed with 65°C water for 5 minutes were considered as the ideal pre-treatment condition. Different photoperiods and media used in germination in this experiment do not significantly affect seed germination. The optimum condition for seed germination at 27.5 °C ± 2.5°C and relative humidity of ~ 75% for 5 days. Seed emergence in soil and compost was significantly affected by the burial depth and bulk density of the media, with the highest (98%±1) seed emergence observed at 1 cm depth for soil and compost, and decreasing with increased burial depth.
