Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The present work was undertaken to study the growth pattern of Drummondia stricta (Mitt.) Müll. Hal. in six different culture media with a combination of auxin and cytokinins, using spores as explants in aseptic cultures. In Drummondia, there is a tendency of multicellular spore formation and spore germination is precocious and endosporic. It has been observed that plant growth was the most satisfactory in the ½ Knop’s + 0.1 mg/L IAA + 0.1 mg/L Kinetin followed by ½ Knop’s, 0.1 mg/L IAA + 0.1 mg/L BAP. However, no growth was observed in case of ½ KNOP’s and Hoagland media.
