Application of Tissue Culture Technique on Marrubium vulgare L. Plant
This study was carried out at the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Faculty of Environmental Agricultural Sciences (FEAS), Arish University, North Sinai, Egypt during 2012 to 2017. The aim of the study was to use tissue culture technique for the micropropagation of Marrubium vulgare plant. One node cutting and shoot tip were cultured on MS, NN and B5 media supplemented with 100 mgl-1 myo-inositol and 3% sucrose. The results showed that shoot tip cultured on the MS medium had the best effect on the establishment stage of mother plants. Multiple shoots were obtained on MS medium supplemented with 1.00 mgl-1Kin in combination with 0.10 mgl-1 NAA. MS medium supplemented with 0.30 mgl-1 pyridoxine achieved the best shoot development compared with the other additive treatments and control. The highest rooting of shoots was with full strength MS medium supplemented with 1.00 mgl-1IBA and half strength MS medium with 1.50 mgl-1 NAA. Hardening the rooted cuttings was done in a greenhouse in pots containing a mixture of peatmoss, vermiculite and washed sand at the rate of 1:1:1 (v/v/v). Plantlets were successfully acclimated with 90% survival.

Effects of Different Nutrient Solution Formulations Supplemented with Willow Bark or Juvenile Branches Decoction on Growth of Coleus Plants
This study took place in the research lath-house at Horticulture Department, Suez Canal University, Ismailia.The aim of the study is to compare different nutrient solution formulas and to study the effects of some naturallybiostimulants (extract of willow bark or juvenile branches) on some vegetative characters of Coleus blumei plantsgrown in sand culture. Three nutrient solution formulation as Hoagland solution (A), pot plant solution (B) and solution(C) which designed and formulated in the Suez Canal University were used. The results showed that the nutrientsolution C, generally, the more beneficial. It produced the tallest plants and heaviest fresh and dry weights of bothabove and underground plant parts. On the other hand, the addition of aqueous extract of juvenile branches of willowled to a significant increase in plant height and fresh and dry weights of either above or underground parts for the threenutritional solutions. Data indicated that the diameter of the main stem and the fresh and dry weights of the neckedbranches were higher in treatments irrigated with the solution C.

Raising the Efficiency of some Ornamental Plants to Get Rid of Formaldehyde
Two experiments were carried out in the Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez CanalUniversity on Schefflera, Dodonaea and Cordyline plants during the successive seasons from 2014 to 2017. Theobjective was to study the effect of nitrogen fertilization at 100, 150 and 200 ppm interacted with magnesium at 50, 75and 100 ppm with other nutrients on increasing the efficiency of plants to reduce pollutants and raising efficiency inreducing formaldehyde from closed chamber. The results showed that the best treatments were the plants fertilized with200 ppm N and 75 ppm Mg for formaldehyde reduction using by Schefflera actinophylla, Cordyline terminalis andDodonaea viscosa. The rate of reduction in these treatments over control ranged from 350%-725% for Schefflera,275%-630% for Cordyline and 300%-400% for Dodonaea, respectively.

Effect of NPK Rates and Inoculation with Mycorrhizal Fungi on Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) Plant in Sandy Soils
This study was carried out during the winter seasons of 2014-15 and 2015-16 at The Experimental Farm ofEnvironmental Agricultural Sciences Faculty, Arish University, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. The aim of this workwas to study the effect of different NPK rates (0.00, 22.4, 44.8 and 67.2 Kg/fed) and different Mycorrhizal fungiconcentrations (0.00, 28, 56 and 84 g/fed) and their interactions on growth and chemical content of dry leaves (nitrogen,phosphorus, potassium), and fresh leaves content of chlorophyll A and B as well as dry flower content of oil ofchamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) under sandy soil conditions. A Split plot design was used NPK rates wererandomly arranged in main plots and the mycorrhizal fungi concentrations were randomly distributed in the sub plots,Drip irrigation was used. Distance between lines was 50 cm and between plants in the same row was 30 cm (28000plant per fed). The obtained results showed that the highest values of vegetative growth (plant height, stem diameter,number of branches, fresh and dry weight of herb, root length, and root fresh and dry weight), flower traits (number offolwer/plant, flower fresh and dry weight, and flower diameter), chemical constituents (N, P, K), chlorophyll content (a& b), and essential oil percentage were achieved when chamomile plants treated with 67.2 kg NPK/fed or 84g/fedmycorrhizal fungi. The interaction results indicated that the highest values of all previous traits were recorded withplants fertilized with 67.2 kg NPK/fed and inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi at 84 g/fed.

Effect of Media Type and BAP Concentrations on Micropropagation during Multiplication Stage on Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata Lem.)
Abstract: Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvet Lem.; Family Asparagaceae) is one of the most important plants in theinternal and external coordination. This work was carried out to study the effect of media type (MS, B5 and WPM) andBenzylaminopurine BAP at 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mg/l during multiplication stage. The shoot tips were collected from invitro seedlings cultured on MS medium without growth regulators. B5 medium supplemented with 0.4 mg/l (BAP)increased number of shoots (3.40 shoots/clump) and number of leaves (24) plant compared with other treatments. TheB5 medium is preferable within mass production and featured commercial. The BAP Concentration 0.4 mg/l promotesshoots initiation and development with B5 medium more than MS and WPM.
