    Abstract: An efficient in vitro protocol for shoot regeneration and production of multiple shoots of Cissampelos pareira (L) was developed. In the present study, the effect of different carbon sources, sucrose, fructose, maltose and glucose was investigated on in vitro shoot regeneration by using axillary bud of Cissampelos pareira (L). The frequency, growth... Show More

    Abstract: Nicosulfuron, a sulfonylurea herbicide is registered for use on field, controns many annual and perennial grass weeds. The accumulation of nicosulfuron will increase toxicity and induce unfavorable oxidative stress in plants. Acetolactate synthase (ALS, EC 2.2.1.6) and glutathione transferases (GSTs, E. C.2.5.1.18), which participate in detoxificat... Show More
