MICROPROPAGATION OF AN EXOTIC ORNAMENTAL PLANT, CALATHEA CROTALIFERA, FOR PRODUCTION OF HIGH QUALITY PLANTLETS

Micropropagation of an Exotic Ornamental Plant, Calathea crotalifera, for Production of High Quality Plantlets

A successful protocol was established for micropropagation in two selected varieties of exotic ornamental plants, Calathea crotalifera.The effects of different sterilization techniques, explant type, and the combination and concentration of plant growth regulators on shoots induction were studied.The axillary shoot buds explants sprouted from rhizo

Hydrogel with high toughness and strength for fabricating high performance stab-resistant aramid composite fabric

In order to prepare a new high-performance and flexibility stab-resistant composite material, one type of high-toughness and high-strength hydrogel is here combined with aramid fabric.In this paper, the nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels are prepared using Pluronic F127 Diacrylate (PF127DA) as the crosslinking agent, acrylamide as the monomer and nano-si
