Salacia oblonga Wall. is an endangered medicinal plant whose conservation is urgently needed, as it is extensively used in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to treat diabetes mellitus. This study shows an easy, effective and simple method of conserving genetic identity and producing elite clones of S. oblonga through vegetative propagation. Vegetative propagation was achieved using roots (R), stems with leaves (SL) and stems without leaves (S) with different concentrations (0-500 ppm) of indole butyric acid (IBA). Explants S and SL showed maximum shooting response with 300 ppm IBA and explant R showed maximum response with 200 ppm IBA.

The mini-cutting physiological condition is vital for the rooting process. For accurate interpretation, considering all mini-cutting responses in an experiment is necessary to identify significant rooting-biomarkers. The study investigates rooting-biomarkers during vegetative propagation, focusing on Ilex paraguariensis (yerba mate) clones of contrasting mini-cutting rooting performance as a case study (i.

Article Synopsis
- Sweetpotato, a major crop in sub-Saharan Africa, has diverse accessions in Niger, Nigeria, and Benin that have yet to be fully studied for their genetic potential.
- The study utilized Diversity Arrays Technology (DArTseq) to genotype 271 sweetpotato accessions, revealing high genetic diversity with varying degrees across different chromosomes.
- Results indicated four distinct populations based on genetic structure, showcasing a mix of accessions from various countries and highlighting unique traits within Nigerian and Beninese landraces.

Unlabelled: Cardamom mosaic virus causing mosaic/ disease is the most destructive virus infecting cardamom. The development of effective diagnostic assays is essential for the production of virus-free plants, as the primary spread of the virus occurs through vegetative propagation. Currently used PCR-based assays are not suitable for Point-of-Care testing, require sophisticated equipment, and are time-consuming.

In this study, we evaluated the growth parameters and cutting production of cassava genotypes during three subsequent plantlet production cycles using three single substrates, namely, KlasmannTS3 (K), vermiculite (V), and local peat (P), and three blended substrates. The blended substrates were a combination of 25% K and 75% P (K25P75), a combination of V and P at respective rates of 25% and 75% (V25P75), and respective rates of 10% and 90% (V10P90).

Factors influencing variance of DNA methylation in vegetatively reproducing plants, both terrestrial plants and aquatic seagrasses, is just beginning to be understood. Improving our knowledge of these mechanisms will increase understanding of transgenerational epigenetics in plant clones, of the relationship between DNA methylation and seagrass development, and of the drivers of epigenetic variation, which may underly acclimation in clonally reproducing plants. Here, we sampled leaves, rhizomes and roots of three physically and spatially separated ramet sections from a clonally propagated field of the seagrass Zostera marina.
