The fact that seedimbibition with SA or ASA confers stress tolerance in plants is more consistent with a signaling role of these molecules, leading to the expression oftolerance rather than a direct effect.

Anja Kaczmarczyk, Bryn Funnekotter, Akshay Menon, Pui Ye Phang, Arwa Al-Hanbali, Eric Bunn, and Ricardo L. Mancera are the authors of this paper which aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, as to provide real-time information about the response of the immune system to EMTs.

The in vitro techniques for conserving plant biodiversity include shoot apical or axillary-meristem-based micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis, cell culture technologies and embryo rescue techniques, as well as a range of in vitro cold storage and cryopreservation protocols, and they are discussed in depth in this issue.

- 1 June 1999
The effect of smoke saturated-water on somatic embryogenesis was studied using geranium hypocotyl culture as a model system and the SSW treatment accelerated the rate of embryo development suggesting a growth regulatory role of SSW.

It is contended that there is also considerable potential for expansion of alternative in vitro technologies such as somatic embryogenesis for difficult taxa to complement existing ex situ conservation and restoration strategies in biodiversity hotspots such as SWAFR.

A method is described for in vitro propagation of the critically endangered ‘Eneabba mallee’ (Eucalyptus impensa) from southwest Western Australia and over 70% of shoots transferred to potting mixture remained viable after 3 months.
Comparative enhancement of germination and vigor in seed and somatic embryos by the smoke chemical 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-C]pyran-2-one in Baloskion tetraphyllum (Restionaceae)

It is demonstrated that butenolide exhibits promotive effects on both germination of seed (stimulation of zygotic embryos), and stimulation of development and maturation of somatic embryos with B. tetraphyllum, providing a potential new class of phyto-active compounds for in vitro culture.
