AliJournal Article20180206This study was carried out at the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Faculty of Environmental Agricultural<br /> 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 <em>Marrubium vulgare </em>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.Scientific Society of Agricultural SciencesHortscience Journal of Suez Canal University2314-79467120180301Effects of Different Nutrient Solution Formulations Supplemented with Willow Bark or Juvenile Branches Decoction on Growth of Coleus Plants11195832810.21608/hjsc.2018.58328ENKoriesh, E.

KhalilJournal Article20180326This study took place in the research lath-house at Horticulture Department, Suez Canal University, Ismailia.<br />The aim of the study is to compare different nutrient solution formulas and to study the effects of some naturally<br />biostimulants (extract of willow bark or juvenile branches) on some vegetative characters of Coleus blumei plants<br />grown in sand culture. Three nutrient solution formulation as Hoagland solution (A), pot plant solution (B) and solution<br />(C) which designed and formulated in the Suez Canal University were used. The results showed that the nutrient<br />solution C, generally, the more beneficial. It produced the tallest plants and heaviest fresh and dry weights of both<br />above and underground plant parts. On the other hand, the addition of aqueous extract of juvenile branches of willow<br />led to a significant increase in plant height and fresh and dry weights of either above or underground parts for the three<br />nutritional solutions. Data indicated that the diameter of the main stem and the fresh and dry weights of the necked<br />branches were higher in treatments irrigated with the solution C.Scientific Society of Agricultural SciencesHortscience Journal of Suez Canal University2314-79467120180301Raising the Efficiency of some Ornamental Plants to Get Rid of Formaldehyde21285833010.21608/hjsc.2018.58330ENKoriesh, E. M Eman. I. Moghazy1; Asmaa. M. Abdel SalamA. Abd El-Mo'omenJournal Article20180326Two experiments were carried out in the Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal<br />University on Schefflera, Dodonaea and Cordyline plants during the successive seasons from 2014 to 2017. The<br />objective was to study the effect of nitrogen fertilization at 100, 150 and 200 ppm interacted with magnesium at 50, 75<br />and 100 ppm with other nutrients on increasing the efficiency of plants to reduce pollutants and raising efficiency in<br />reducing formaldehyde from closed chamber. The results showed that the best treatments were the plants fertilized with<br />200 ppm N and 75 ppm Mg for formaldehyde reduction using by Schefflera actinophylla, Cordyline terminalis and<br />Dodonaea viscosa. The rate of reduction in these treatments over control ranged from 350%-725% for Schefflera,<br />275%-630% for Cordyline and 300%-400% for Dodonaea, respectively.Scientific Society of Agricultural SciencesHortscience Journal of Suez Canal University2314-79467120180301Effect of NPK Rates and Inoculation with Mycorrhizal Fungi on Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) Plant in Sandy Soils29405833110.21608/hjsc.2018.58331ENAbdallah, S. A. S M. A. M. AliT. O. M. El-KashefJournal Article20180917This study was carried out during the winter seasons of 2014-15 and 2015-16 at The Experimental Farm of<br />Environmental Agricultural Sciences Faculty, Arish University, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. The aim of this work<br />was to study the effect of different NPK rates (0.00, 22.4, 44.8 and 67.2 Kg/fed) and different Mycorrhizal fungi<br />concentrations (0.00, 28, 56 and 84 g/fed) and their interactions on growth and chemical content of dry leaves (nitrogen,<br />phosphorus, potassium), and fresh leaves content of chlorophyll A and B as well as dry flower content of oil of<br />chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) under sandy soil conditions. A Split plot design was used NPK rates were<br />randomly arranged in main plots and the mycorrhizal fungi concentrations were randomly distributed in the sub plots,<br />Drip irrigation was used. Distance between lines was 50 cm and between plants in the same row was 30 cm (28000<br />plant per fed). The obtained results showed that the highest values of vegetative growth (plant height, stem diameter,<br />number of branches, fresh and dry weight of herb, root length, and root fresh and dry weight), flower traits (number of<br />folwer/plant, flower fresh and dry weight, and flower diameter), chemical constituents (N, P, K), chlorophyll content (a<br />& b), and essential oil percentage were achieved when chamomile plants treated with 67.2 kg NPK/fed or 84g/fed<br />mycorrhizal fungi. The interaction results indicated that the highest values of all previous traits were recorded with<br />plants fertilized with 67.2 kg NPK/fed and inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi at 84 g/fed.Scientific Society of Agricultural SciencesHortscience Journal of Suez Canal University2314-79467120180301Effect of Media Type and BAP Concentrations on Micropropagation during Multiplication Stage on Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata Lem.)41455833310.21608/hjsc.2018.58333ENAbdel Kawy, Waly Yehia M. Abdel FattahAli A. ShomanJournal Article20181028Abstract: Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvet Lem.; Family Asparagaceae) is one of the most important plants in the<br />internal and external coordination. This work was carried out to study the effect of media type (MS, B5 and WPM) and<br />Benzylaminopurine BAP at 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mg/l during multiplication stage. The shoot tips were collected from in<br />vitro seedlings cultured on MS medium without growth regulators. B5 medium supplemented with 0.4 mg/l (BAP)<br />increased number of shoots (3.40 shoots/clump) and number of leaves (24) plant compared with other treatments. The<br />B5 medium is preferable within mass production and featured commercial. The BAP Concentration 0.4 mg/l promotes<br />shoots initiation and development with B5 medium more than MS and WPM.
