Eugenol had antimicrobial effect and could be used to prolong the shelf life of fermented products as yoghurt. Eugenol in carnation essential oil was added to milk, at the percentages of (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 μl/ml milk, respectively before using the milk in the yoghurt manufacture. Results indicated that eugenol in carnation essential oil possessed good inhibitory effect against selected pathogenic bacterial strains at different concentrations, but had no inhibitory effect on Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Addition of carnation essential oil affected the pH and titratable acidity of the prepared yoghurt. Moreover, total solids, total protein and fat-to-dry matter records were slightly affected. The total viable counts, also, counts of yoghurt starter cultures and Lactobacillus acidophilus in yoghurt samples enhanced to become a maximum after 10 days of storage and reduced thereafter. Yeasts and molds, and coliform bacteria were not detected in the treated yoghurt. In different samples of yoghurt, yoghurt containing 0.6 μl/ml eugenol was the most acceptable organoleptically. It can be concluded that 0.6 μl/ml eugenol, can be applied to prolong yoghurt storage time for more than 15 days. \u0000Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 29(1): 1-14, 2019 (June)","PeriodicalId":91158,"journal":{"name":"Plant tissue culture & biotechnology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3329/PTCB.V29I1.41974","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41432359","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}

In tissue culture, abnormal somatic embryos usually occur. In this report, abnormal embryos are also used to induce shoot organogenesis, adding to the number of final regenerants and ensuring full utilization of regenerative propagules. A treatment of 0.2 mg/l BAP induced meristemoids in 60% of underdeveloped embryos and a combination of 0.5 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l AgNO3 led browning and senescence-free progression of shoot buds to well developed shoots, which were subsequently rooted in half strength MS containing 2% sucrose and 0.25 mg/l IBA.

However, there are certain obstacles which overall restrain the output of the plant tissue culturing. One of them is contamination of the tissue culture stock which is a major problem limiting the output. Aegle marmelos (L.) is a medicinal plant whose genotype qualities are maintained through clonal propagation of nodal segment as an explant. It harbors plethora of fungi which curbs the successful in vitro propagation. Chemical fungicide like bavistin is used to prevent the contamination in tissue culture which raises the environmental concerns. Thus, use of microbially derived antifungals can help in preventing fungal growth with benefit of positively impacting the plant growth.

Distinct putative mutants of marigold var. Pusa Narangi Gainda generated through gamma irradiation (in vivo and in vitro), were studied for variability and correlation in M2 generation for 11 traits. The maximum heritability (h2) was noted for days to flower harvest (0.9982%). The highest positive phenotypic correlation (0.637) was noted for number of flowers per plant to the days to first flower harvest. The most positive genotypic correlation (0.915) was found for seed yield (g) to the number of flowers per plant. Furthermore, the putative mutants in M2 were assessed for their diversity using ISSR markers and the amplified DNA fragments were compared with their respective parent genotype maintained (in vivo and in vitro). Single marker regression analysis indicated that the ISSR 811 and ISSR 817 were highly efficient markers for mutant identification in marigold. On the basis of dendrogram, putative mutant No. 3 (pm3) showed the highest dissimilarity with the parent (0.58). The mutants, pm5 and pm6 were found to be similar to each other (0.65), though they were quite distinct from the parent genotype morphologically.
